Infanteriemesser 42, manufactured by Eickhorn
Hi, mates !
Today I picked up this Infanteriemesser 42 on a flea market.
The knife itself isn´t in that good condition, but, it´s showin´the "been there, done that" character !
overall lenght: 261 mm
blade lenght: 146 mm
breadth, (width), of the blade: 22,2 mm
thickness of the blade: 3,1 mm
There´re varieties of the Eickhorn-logo of the, "over the shoulder lookin´ squirrel".
Some collectors are talkin´ ´bout the "1st version", and, the "2nd version" of this, particular, maker´s mark.
Cheers,
R.

Got to love flea markets.
The man who sold the knive knew, what he had !
The asking price was Euro´s 250,--
Got the knife for an amount of Euro´s 220,--
It´s not a bargain but it´s what you have to pay for an maker marked Infanteriemesser 42 currently.

I've had one of those for many years. It is in excellent condition/scabbard.
What I like about it is the makers code u. date - hat 42.

Your knife was manufactured by Gebrüder Gräfrath, Fabrik feiner Stahlwaren, Solingen-Widdert.

Thx. in advance,
