Railway Protection Leader Dagger (M1938) with Hangers, German - Carl Eickhorn Solingen
Factory frosted aluminum hilt fittings show minor surface wear with much frosting remaining to the spherical pommel with raised sunwheel swastika, ribbed ferrule and crossguard with winged railcar wheel Bahnschutz insignia on the obverse langet. The crossguard winged insignia has a casting flaw in the right wing, indicating once again. Black solid celluloid ridged grip is perfect with no cracks or chips. The blade still grades at about mint. The reverse ricasso is dark etched with the 1935-41 Eickhorn squirrel logo. The squirrel holds a downward pointing sword with the quality word above, original. Below is the firm’s name and location, Eickhorn Solingen. The original leather blade buffer is in place deep within the crossguard recesses.
