Rare Senior Forestry Cutlass w/Eickhorn Squirrel
Emblem. Carl Eickhorn (double oval, C.E.) TM. Gilted
aluminum hilt fittings show light surface wear with
much gilting remaining to the oak leaf embellished
knuckle-bow and crossguard and to the clamshell
which features a charging stag. Obverse ferrule
features the Eickhorn squirrel cast into the aluminum,
while the reverse features a running doe. An identical
example of this cutlass is pictured in the Eickhorn
Kundendienst Catalog as Nr. 1509. Ivory grip shows
light surface wear and age toning, with three acorns
with oak leaves on both the obverse and reverse
grip plates. Plated blade is double-etched, featuring
scenes of Auerhahns, stag, doe, hunting dogs, and
boar (same pattern as shown in the Kundendienst
Catalog). Blade grades excellent with light surface
wear and runner marks with some gray speckling.
Green felt blade buffer pad is present. Black leather
scabbard is dent- and crease-free with light surface
wear and a few nicks to the black leather. Gilted
brass fittings show light surface wear and age with
much gilting remaining. Exc. (17083) $1,795.
