    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the education.
    This item is coming up for auction this week and I had them send close up photos.
    I'm not an expert and would appreciate any help on this item.

    Is it a repo?

    Cheers,

    Danger

    Crossguard looks extra shiney. Wait for danny or Oleg to chime in. Photos sometimes do not give the correct detail with the lighting used.

    Thanks Larry.

    I was a bit iffy on the swastika and Eagles head, and the Eickhorn squirrel isn't holding a sword.
    I just don't know enough to say it's a variant or if it's a red flag?

    Cheers,

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for that. I would've been a little nervous bidding on it without your validation.
    I've seen a few sell online for around $750USD, would that be a fair price?
    I want to go for it but I don't want to over pay in an auction environment.
    What's the max value for this item in your opinion?

    $750 is market value without the extra accoutrements.

    A casino tag line - " Bet with your head and not over it "

    Don't let $750 be your bottom line or you would be better off just buying from a dealer.

    Regards Larry

    Hello Danger,
    I see nothing wrong on the dagger. All what I can see is in my opinion typical for the Eickhorn firm.
    As already said is it a last maker mark by Eickhorn beginning in 1942.
    Best,
    Oleg.
