This RAD Dagger by Eickhorn is in EXC++ condition throughout. Model 1934 for RAD Hewer. The total length is 39.8 cm. The Hewer has the maker mark on the blade: Carl Eickhorn C.E. in Solingen.

Grip: The hilt area has very choice nickel fittings which show little carrying time. In fact these fittings are still crisp especially around the ferrule area, the beak area and also the crossguard with its curled quillon at the end. The grip plates are very beautiful having a good dark brown in the backgrounds. These plates are retained by screw and spanner hardware.

Blade: The blade of this example is the typical big heavy bowie style. This blade though still grades at about mint. The spine is crisp, the fuller is nicely done and the etched motto is still crisp. The reverse has matching etching and it features the RAD triangle positioned over the patent pending words, Ges. Gesch. Beneath this is the trademark used from 1933 through 1935. It is the double small style ovals which trap the firm’s name and location, Carl Eickhorn Solingen.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is a beauty being totally straight throughout. They still also have all of the dark backgrounds to enhance the images. The upper mount has the complicated RAD swirl designs and the lower mount has the shovels with wheat shafts and swastika on both sides. Both mounts have the beaded pattern that decorates the edges that touch the shell. The original screws are in place.
