A Model 1934 - Schutzstaffel Ehrendolch mit Widmung by Carl Eickhorn of Solingen. These were presented to members of the SS who took part in “The Night of the Long Knives” and later to those who displayed unquestionable loyalty to H. Himmler. The blade on this one looks great. The acid etched; “Meine Ehere Heißt Treue” motto, “In Herzlicher Freundschaft, H. Himmler” inscription and serrated tail “Carl Eickhorn Solingen” maker mark are all crisp and beautifully executed! They provide a wonderful contrast to the bright blade. The crossgrain runs the entire length of the blade and is easily visible as you shine it in the light. The tip comes to a perfect point and the blade to crossguard fit is perfect. The blade rates an Exc++. There are two minor areas of pitting, along with age grey and surface scratches throughout. It has had a light clean. The scabbard is the typical style we see with Himmler/Röhm examples. It is steel based, black anodized and has a heavily lacquered finish. It shows minor oxidization spotting throughout and one scratch to the obverse. It holds a nice and dark finish and remains completely dent free. The solid nickel-silver scalloped scabbard fittings look excellent. The ball has the slightest pressure mark, yet retains a nice round profile. All four screws remain intact. The solid nickel-silver crossguards are in excellent condition. The crossguard is bench marked “2”. The black hardwood grip shows several chips and cracks throughout along with many hits. The solid nickel eagle has a tight fit. The SS runes retain 95%+ of its enamel and has tight fit. A fine example fit for your collection!
