NPEA Student Dagger by Eickhorn
Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.
A great Eickhorn Student NPEA with the correct configuration! The blade on this one has great crossgrain. The acid etched Eickhorn specific "Mehr sein als scheinen." (Be more than you appear to be.) motto and over-the-shoulder "Original Eickhorn Solingen" maker mark are both dark, crisp and beautifully executed! They truly provide a wonderful contrast to the bright blade! The fit remains nice and tight and the tip comes to an excellent point. This has been sharpened on one edge, (both sides) about 2mm in from the edge. There some spotting and rubs. The blade rates Exc+. The buffer pad is lost to time. The original undented painted scabbard looks good. It shows minor age crazing and light wear. The original throat retaining screw remains intact and the magnetic ball remains perfectly round! The stud is correctly shaped and correctly unmarked. The zinc plated crossguards look good. They show the common bubbling towards the edges of the grip yet continue to retain 95% plating coverage! The brown hardwood chip and crack-free grip is in good condition displaying good graining to the wood! It has the correct late war aluminum eagle that is perfectly inset in the grip and shows excellent detail! A wonderful example of a rare dagger missing from most collections!
