2nd Model Luftwaffe by Eickhorn…..Attic find apparently,& looking at it I believe it.Totally untouched  is a 2nd Model Luftwaffe officer's dagger.. Excellent Trolon grip which remains in very nice condition, being a little darker on the obverse than that which is shown on the reverse side. The material is in excellent condition and shows no cracks, splits, or missing material. Tightly wrapped is the decorative springy wire which Eickhorn was known for.Both cross guards are quite black & untouched. Holding this hilt assembly all firm and in place is the heart shape pommel which this firm was noted for on some of their 2nd model lineup
daggers. One of the few edged weapon firms that was known for gilding the swastikas which shows up nicely on this dagger.The blade remains full length, straight, void of any tipping, buffing, sharpening, or cutting-edge chips and has still has the prominent crossgrain on both sides. On the reverse is the small, stamped squirrel trademark. The scabbard to this dagger is  very dark ,showing that no cleaning has taken place,it remains straight, no dings, hits, splits, or damage. Both bands are in place and hold the hanger rings properly. Lastly, the thicker Eickhorn type throat is in place and held firmly by 2 flush mounted screws.click on pay by credit card to access after pay.
