SMGL-2761 German Army Dagger by Eickhorn

A very sexy mid period dagger with a simply stunning set of matched guard, ferrule and pommel fittings. They have a quality silver plate on them that has aged and toned to a beautiful dark grey/brown. Zero signs of plate loss! The solid celluloid grip is a handsome orange with a slightly more yellow back, which we se from time to time and is a result of the dagger resting face up for many many years. No chips or cracks at all. the blade shows some moderate wear and remnants of some oxidation. The etched Eickhorn logo is the mid/late style. It’s been hand polished over its lifetime but still looks excellent and rates a 7 out of 10 in my book. The scabbard is dent free and shows the same deep color toning in many spots, insuring this is the properly matched scabbard. The single style throat screw shows evidence of being turned, but it is still in good shape. It was likely broken down for cleaning at some point.  Overall, a very fine dagger that any collector would be happy to own.
