Heer Officer’s Dagger by Eickhorn – D1094
This listing is for as the title says, a 3rd Reich army officer’s dagger manufactured by the Carl Eickhorn firm. A nice squash colored grip begins the hilt description to this edged weapon. The Trolon material is in good shape, being void of any splits, chips, cracks, or missing material. There is but a single surface scratch on the reverse side, and that’s basically it. The orange grip almost looks glass having a translucent quality to it.
All of the nickel silver hardware has taken on a beautiful dark patina, as nothing has been cleaned on this dagger since being returned as a souvenir from WWII. An excellent scabbard accompanies this Heer officer’s dagger. It too is black as all get out, with a rich patina covering it’s entirety. The shell remains in fine condition, with just a couple very tiny tap imperfections along the side, down from the rings. Both scabbard bands are in place, and hold the hanger rings properly in place. A single reverse screw secures the throat.
Lastly the blade. It remains full length, straight, void of any tipping, buffing, sharpening, or cutting edge chips. In light of some surface age, lines, and darkening, we has all certainly seen much worse. A killer dark etched burnished squirrel trademark is shown on the reverse riccasso. A decent solid dagger for the money, all untouched. SOLD
