Heer Dagger - Eickhorn with hangers

**josephc** · 07-10-2018, 03:44 AM

I picked up this set from a dealer friend. I believe it to be an Eickhorn type 2 from checking out other posts. It has some issues - broken tip and a beat up scabbard - not sure how this much abuse could be done to a scabbard. The adler is very detailed, handle has a couple small nicks. Overall can the type/series be confirmed and if it looks like all pieces go together? The hanger set has some finish remaining and is in good condition.

I have an opportunity to acquire this scabbard. does it appear to be a single screw eickhorn or a generic and would it be a match for my dagger with damaged scabbard? Scabbard I have is a single screw like the one I'm looking at buying. Sorry for the size of pics.
thanks

That's not an Eickhorn scabbard. It's a generic one that doesn't fit to an Eickhorn army. Does the damages scabbard of the Eickhorn you show have a screw on the backside?

Yes the bent/dented scabbard that came with my eickhorn has a single screw. Is the single screw on the proposed replacement scabbard the characteristic that is telling you it is not eickhorn or is a generic and not correct for the eickhorn? I did a search of threads before posting and saw a couple examples calling out a single screw scabbard for an eickhorn - here is one example -

# Larry that is not a slant grip

Type 2 Eickhorns come with B grips

#Jospeh, that Eickhorn 2nd pattern link you posted has the typical Eickhorn type 1 scabbardbands, and has a standard backside screw, not a flushed one, like on the one you show, which has later type generic scabbardbands.
