Heer Dagger Mid Period Eickhorn

Nice pick up!
Does the dent interfere with the blade when you are putting the blade in?

Despite what appears to be a pronounced bend. The blade does not get caught up at all

Have this in my hands again now....the more I hold it the more I like it. When I bought it, it was a 30 sec purchase out of the back of a car. It thought it was "OK". But looking at the details now, while not a minty example it really is nice with great details.

Be careful M8......this might be a virus you wont get rid off.....

I agree with Ger.. this one looks correct with the cool early pommel and type two guard.. just ONE step newer than a double oval.. Kevin..

Thanks Kevin. Appreciate the feedback. I guess not bad deal for $250 car trunk purchase.

My understanding is that this maker mark is from ~'35 to '41. But based on the parts mix, I assume it is on the earlier end of the spectrum?

Thanks again.

Hey, production started in 35' so yes.. this is an early piece. I would estimate 36' - 37'. Here is a double oval from my collection for comparison....

another shot of mm to replace that bad shot... once you upload a pic how do you remove it?

Nice pick up Map,I like it!I have a k98 bayonet with a couple of "door" dents on scabbard,a part of its history.

Dont forget that the Eickhorn Type 1 in aluminium always comes with this 35-41 logo, never with the double oval.
End of 1935 early 36 would be my best guess.
