   Uncleaned Army Officer Dagger w/Portepee & Standard Hangers. Carl Eickhorn, etched squirrel holding sword TM. Silver-plated hilt fittings show light age patina with much factory lacquer/darkening remaining on well detailed oak leaf embellished pommel & crossguard with Eickhorn 2nd pattern eagle. Medium orange, solid celluloid grip with nice age toning in grip swirls, has two small hairline cracks on upper obverse/reverse, but no chips, or other damage. Polished blade grades Exc++ showing light surface wear/runner marks and a few tiny gray specks, but no pitting or nicks to cutting edges. Is complete with brown leather blade buffer pad. Dent-free silver-plated scabbard shows a few dark age specks to pebbled panels with much factory lacquer/frosting remaining on edges of shell. Scabbard features the post-1937 pattern single side-mounted throat retention screw as used by WKC. Although Eickhorn was one of the largest producers of Army daggers, they apparently purchased parts from other manufacturers. Standard hangers show wear to silver plating over brass upper box-type fitting, buckles, slides, & lower clips. Nice combination w/uniform dark age patina/factory finish. Exc++ (24953) $1,050. SOLD
