RAD Enlisted Mans Hewer [M1934] by Carl Eickhorn, Solingen

This RAD Dagger by Eickhorn is in EXC+ condition. Model 1934 for RAD EM Hewer. The total length is 39.6 cm. The Hewer has the maker mark on the blade: Original Eickhorn, Solingen.

Grip: The hilt area is in perfect condition. The beak and ferrule area still have a good crispness about them. The grip plates are a fine genuine stag, having nice appealing dark browns and tans. The edges of these grip plates are a golden color. The plates are retained by screw and spanner hardware. The screws do not appear to have been turned.

Blade: The matte finish blade is a goood example, showing some nominal usage. The reverse ricasso is etched with the RAD triangle, and below are the patent pending words, “Ges.Gesch.” Below this is the Eickhorn trademark used from 1935 through 1941. It consists of an etched squirrel holding a downward pointing sword. Above the squirrel is the word “original”, and below is the firm’s name and location, “Eickhorn, Solingen”.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is nice and straight. This shell has very good original black paint. There are some normal scratches here and there, this paints rates at probably about 100%. The nickel plated scabbard mounts are in perfect condition.  Otherwise, these mounts are good being deeply stamped with the RAD curls at the top, and at the bottom is stamped on both sides with the two wheat sheafs having the shovel with swastika in the center. The original screws are in place.
