Early 1st pattern Luftwaffe dagger variation
Early variation from Eickhorn with small double oval squirell TM. Note its detachable chainset. Also the grip wire runs from high right to low left.
An example of the detachable chainset can be seen in Tom Wittmann's book "Exploring the Dress Daggers of the German Luftwaffe" page 58. The dagger has no markings other than the TM and the original owner's personalization scratched on the snap clip reverse.
Nice early Eickhorn 1st luft
Lovely blade

Likewise. Very nice early example.Best Regards, Fred
High quality piece, as expected from a very early Eickhorn.
First time for me to see these clips on an Eickhorn, i have seen them with the larger 8 clips, so this is another nice variaty

Iv'e seen these clips before but not the right to left downward spiral grip, nice looking dagger with nice overall patina, great find.
