It's an original dagger. The dagger has the scarce type 1 Eickhorn crossguard. Does the dagger have a scabbard?

Looks to me like it could be an all aluminum variation ? Dagger have a scabbard ?
Please make a few clear pics, don not use an angle, that hides the detail.
Looking at the color it could be aluminium, but im not convinced yet, easiest way is to put it on a scale, when its alu the dagger will weight about 180 gramms.
here an overview from left to right:
Yours, an aluminium, a standard type 1 eick

Now let's see that screwless scabbard JB😀!
Unfortunately I don't have access to better pictures, will ask though from the seller. Dagger is been sold without scabbard, could that mean something?
Also, what is the significance of aluminum here?

Without the scabbard this effects the price greatly - If it is an all aluminum variation it is a much more desirable variation. The blade is very poor this will also factor into the pricing
I would also like to point out these aluminum Eickhorns were silver plated - not brushed aluminum like the other aluminum hilt daggers.
I agree with Tom, not having a scabbard is a big minus, you will never be able to get an all aluminium Eickhorn scabbard, so you will never be able to complete it.
The bad blade condition doesnt help much either.
If its the alu version then its very very rare, but having only the dagger its only useful to crossguard collectors.
