cracking looking dagger.
Stunning example of a Ground Rohm. The guards and grip the Eickhorn eyes can see a mile away
The scabbard anodizing is pristine..including from what I can see almost 100% Laquer left. Early all the way including the early long nosed snap clip. Well done and a beautiful find.Regards Larry

I thought that Eickhorn logo was awful close to the crossguard.

Steve,
Might just be the photos but the scabbard looks painted brown rather than anodised ??
are the scabbard fittings magnetic ?
Regards Mac 66.
very nice piece. You should try to pick up a dagger like this in Ciney(EU), you won`t get close trust me.
Nice to see you can still pick up good daggers at fairs.
I really like that grip^^
regards, Job
Hi Steve thanks for showing this nice dagger.
I do have some reserve on the scabbard.
We all know that these Early Eicks have a very thin layer of zapon lacquer on the anodation, and they easily show wear ( surface rust), therefore the color your scabbard has immediatly got my attention, it is not what i would expect on an early Rohm.
For me thats not a Eickhorn ground Rohm scabbard, the hanger ring is not at the right spot, yours is placed to high.
Also noticed the difference in color between the crossguard and the scabbard fittings is something to think about.
Here a picture of a ground Rohm Eick hanger ring, note the distance between the ring and the screw.

Hi
The dagger itself has the typical eickhorn look and that looks great.
But the scabbard looks too is brown too me. The eickorn anodised scabbard are more flat brown with an almost red glow in it.
