Uncleaned Personalized Army Officer's Dagger. Carl Eickhorn, etched squirrel holding sword TM. Silver-plated hilt fittings show surface wear to highlights with dark uncleaned age patina on the well detailed oak leaf pommel, as well as the early E. Pack pattern crossguard. Although Eickhorn was one of the largest producers of Army Daggers, they apparently did on occasion, purchase parts from other manufacturers. Reverse crossguard is jeweler engraved with the original owner's monogram, "RH" in capital letters. Solid celluloid grip shows light surface wear with no cracks or chips, and age toning from dark orange on the obverse to lighter yellow/orange on the reverse. Mirror polished blade grades Exc+ showing light surface wear/runner marks with some minor gray spotting, but no nicks to the cutting edges and is complete with brown leather blade buffer pad. Silver-plated scabbard shows superb detail to the pebbled shell with a faint surface depression to the lower obverse/reverse. Scabbard retains portions of factory lacquer on the upper shell which features the reverse center mounted screw and thick throat normally associated with Eickhorn produced Army Daggers. Nice personalized example recently obtained in Germany. Exc+/Exc++ (24551) $695.
