Description
Dagger. Kreigsmarine M1938 - 2nd Model Kriegsmarine Dolch f?r Offiziere. Blade stamped with squirrel 'Original Eickhorn Solingen' maker mark which is a bit weak/worn. It is acid etched both sides with fouled anchor design. Blade is bright and clean with only minor wear and a bit of minor corrosion near the tip. The point is sharp. The original brown felt buffer pad is not present. The lightning bolt style scabbard is brass based, and the gold gilding has mostly been polished away. It is in GC free from dents or dings. Original throat screws appear unturned. The button works well.. The crossguard and pommel are brass based and gold gilded. The fouled anchors to the crossguard and Kreigsmarine eagle pommel are all beautifully detailed. The white celluloid grip has its brass double twisted wire wrap and this remains tightly intact. Eickhorn knives are very scarce.
