Love these early pieces they are noticeably heavier than the later aluminum version. This is a desirable earlier example that's been releathered. As always, I disclose all restoration work. The Eickhorn marked blade rates Exc+. There has been some cleaning and a few minor marks where there was some pitting but nothing offensive. The blade is seated through a pebbled blue leather washer into the solid nickel crossguard. The hilt fittings are all early silver washed nickel with brass inserted swas's. The grip is wire wrapped with 3 wires. The all nickel chain has 14 lower and 9 upper ringlets terminating at a steel clip, the clip had some oxidation and has been cleaned. The scabbard is nicely leather wrapped. All the fittings are steel based and again have been cleaned, you can see some of the plating undercoat coming through on the top fitting revealing some of the copper flash. I expect this will tone down over the years. The correct headless screws are intact. Completing this is a brown leather belt loop.
