A NEAR MINT COMPLETE ARMY DAGGER WITH STRAPS & KNOT BY EICKHORN.
A purchase from the SoS in Louisvillle, this and another army dagger were saved for me by a dealer I know. Both were in his own collection for years. It’s untouched and uncleaned, and apart from some proper, honest wear to the straps, is in mint condition. All silver plating remains on all the fittings which has toned down due to the high silver content. A perfect tangerine orange colour grip. Original bullion knot tied in the correct manner. Perfect scabbard. Bullion straps with green velvet backings show a little honest wear to the backings.
Blade is lovely and stone mint with the etched Eickhorn squirrel trademark from 1935-42.
Very nice army dagger.
