[comleyn]

Hi
A friend found this dagger during a house clearance and I was wandering whether it is original and what type of dagger it is specifically. Sorry the photos are not great, I have asked for more photos. Any help as always is greatly appreciated, thank you,nic.

Thank you Ronnie for the quick reply. It is probably out of my current price range but if I did what would be a fair price for such a dagger?

[85ronnies]

No probs Nic, hard to say on price really all depends on condition maker rarity and most of all how much someone is willing to pay for it at a guess I would say from around £400 upwards don't quote me though
cheers Ronnie

Looks like a nice Eickhorn model to me.

Am not seeing any red flags from these photos. As said, it looks to be a decent Eickhorn 2nd Model KM with the anchor etch. Not much gilding left, but that's normal. If you bought this from a Dealer, you would pay $600 or more.

Many thanks for all the replies regarding this dagger. Thought I would upload the final set of pictures he sent. Thank you, nic.
