Army Officer’s Dagger [M1935] with Hangers, Engraving & Document Grouping of Eberhard Werner
Grouping of Eberhard Werner: Army officer dagger of the 1935 pattern, manufactured by Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. Offered together with the hanger and a document grouping. Overall length approx. 40.0 cm. The blade is engraved on both sides.
Grip: Round grip with double-twisted, convex fluting. Grip material: orange Trolon. The conical pommel is screwed onto the tang and decorated with twelve oak leaves. At the lower end is the characteristic grip ring, decorated with six oak-leaf panels. The crossguard is formed as an eagle (facing left with downward wing ends), holding a wreath with swastika in its claws.
Blade: Double-edged bright blade in very good condition. Front engraved: “Zur Erinnerung vom A.R. 293, Weihnachten 1941”. Reverse engraved: “E. Werner”. The etched maker mark “Carl Eickhorn Solingen” is present on the reverse. The tip is complete and unshortened; the crossgrain is fully visible. The original buffer pad (leather washer) between blade shoulders and lower guard is present.
Scabbard: Steel scabbard with a separate throat piece and two oak-leaf decorated bands, each fitted with loose, fully closed carry rings. Drawn from one piece of sheet steel, with the typical grained/textured surface on both sides. The tip is rounded and not dented. The throat is separately fitted and secured by one screw.
Historical Context: Army Officer Dagger 1935 Pattern with Personalized Provenance
The Army officer dagger of the 1935 pattern formed part of an officer’s dress and presentation equipment and was produced by various Solingen makers to a high standard. Typical features include the eagle-form crossguard, the fluted grip construction, and the steel scabbard with oak-leaf decorated bands and carry rings.
Particularly appealing to collectors are pieces with personal engravings and a clear individual reference, as they document a specific contemporary context. The engravings shown here (A.R. 293 / Christmas 1941 and the name E. Werner) provide a distinct personalization beyond a standard example.
A companion document grouping can further support the historical framework and makes the set especially attractive as a coherent time-capsule ensemble—particularly with the maker Carl Eickhorn, Solingen.
