2nd Model Navy Dagger by Eickhorn

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Navy Daggers > 2nd Model Navy Daggers

Another good piece by Eickhron! The acid etched fouled anchor blade on this one looks nice! The etching is great with nice panels and crisp edges! The stamped "Original Eickhorn Solingen" maker mark is beautifully executed! The tip comes to a sharp point and the fit is nice and tight! The blade on this one rates an Exc+. It has the common age greying/spotting throughout. The original brown felt buffer pad continues to remain intact. The lightning bold style scabbard is brass based and gold gilded. It depicts wonderful details especially with the hand enhancing towards the tip. There is one pressure mark to the reverse. Both throat retaining screws remain intact. The button continues to work well and tightly secures the scabbard to the hilt. The crossguard and pommel are brass based and gold gilded. The fouled anchors to the crossguard and proudly perched kriegsmarine eagle pommel are beautifully detailed! The grip is wood based and covered in white celluloid. It continues to remain in wonderful shape! There is one 1mm crack to the top obverse but that's it. No chips or splits! The brass double twisted wire wrap remains tightly intact! Nice gilding and patina. A solid piece!
