Himmler SS Dagger by Eickhorn

Likely the most desirable of all SS daggers! Blade is an NM example that shows just the most minor evidence of age. Smooth-tail small Eickhorn maker mark is placed tight to the crossguard, as they all are. The dark motto is correct and correctly placed. Scabbard is dent free anodized finish with much lacquer remaining. All nickel silver fittings with the screws intact. The ball maintains it's original shape. Please note the hanger is NOT included. The grip is a nice chunk of hardwood that has some minor flakes other than that chip-free with just a small hairline running from the crossguard to the runes and then south from there. I have blown this way up it is barely noticeable in person. As with most of these early Eickhorns the grips are very hard and seem to want to flake and chip. This one has light pressure marks and only the most minor evidence of wear. The runes enamel is 100%. The eagle is the correct hi-necked nickel version normally found on Himmlers. The hand chased crossguards are nickel silver and nicely fit to the grip and blade. The lower crossguard is correctly benchmarked. Scabbard fits great. With minty examples reaching for the $20k mark this may be the affordable example you have been looking for.
