Purchase: Army Officer’s Dagger with Deluxe Hangers, Portepee, Iron Cross and Photos

This unmarked piece features the Pack aluminum hilt mounts. The pommel is in choice perfect condition, showing no usage whatsoever. The standing oak leaves running around the circumference all have signs of hand enhancing with highly detailed work showing to the acorns and their caps. Also each vein is hand done as are the two oak leaves that fall on the casting lines respectively. This crossguard also shows no signs of usage along the reverse or the upper shoulder area. The crossguard depicts a fine eagle looking to the viewer’s left. The eye, beak, breast feathering, talons and wreath are not as augmented as we usually see on these parts, but nevertheless, the details are all still there. The ferrule is a fine silvered example with nice patina across the overlapping oak leaves and acorns. The grip is an excellent standard example, having a pleasing orange color. The original 42 cm portepee is still wrapped about the hilt in the original tie. It has quite a bit of fraying where the cord comes out of the tie. It is interesting to note that the scabbard on this example is definitely an Eickhorn product, being the second style produced by this maker. The thicker throat is retained by a single screw in the reverse, but differing from Eickhorn is the fact that the screw is a headless flush mount type. This is an indication that the firm that made this dagger completed its assemblage in house. The bands on the scabbard have nicely detailed, overlapping oak leaves, and the pebbled panels are still quite crisp, and straight throughout. Deluxe hangers grade EX+ showing wear/age to the fabric with some separation of the facing from the backing, and are complete with silver plated oak leaf embellished upper tabs, heavy buckles, slides, and lower clips with raised oak leaves. The unmarked blade is as nice as they come. This blade has a mirror finish with one hundred percent of the crossgraining with needle-like tip. This blade has been protected by an in place, new like brown leather washer. A nice dagger here, with some interesting aspects.
