Hunting Dagger by Eickhorn
Another Eickhorn example. The 13 inch blade is a triple acid etched example. It is correctly stamped with the 1935-41 Eickhorn maker mark. The etch is nice and clear light having highly detailed panels depicting hunting scenes. There is no sharpening and the blade is very clean. The factory green felt buffer is intact. The blade does not fully insert staying less than a half inch out with normal pressure. This is a common issue on these pieces resulting from leather shrinkage. The blade rates NM. The scabbard at some point was bent resulting in witness marks to the fold. I have clearly shown this. This in no way impedes the insertion of the blade. It has fine black leather with good coverage. It depicts two decorative lines running the length of the scabbard on both sides. All of the stitching remains intact. Both matching brass fittings have scalloped edges. The staples are still intact, peek under the staples and again you will see wee numbers. There are some scuffs that have been cleaned up with shoe polish. the lower fitting shows some hits and dents. The fluted clamshell has good detail as do the hooves design crossguard. The pommel has the tang correctly peened through it. The grip is stag with nice brass acorns.
