Worn but very nice Infanteriemesser 42 Eickhorn made, about the scabbard IMO don’t match with the knife, more pics are needed

I agree with Ivan.
Not in the best condition, but I believe original.

Very nice "Infanteriemesser 42", ("Infantry Knife 42"), of the Wehrmacht, congratulations !
This combat knife is rarely seen with a manufacturer stamped on the blade.
Can you please show us pictures of the back of the scabbard ?

Furthermore, the design of the blade of your knife is also rather rare to find on the Infanteriemesser 42, it shows the so-called "Hechtklinge", ("pike blade").

Nice find, a war time made Eickhorn.

hello all,

As Ivan noted, the scabbard is not typical of the IM42 but, more likely, of a WWI era Armeedolch, (army dagger), or the Weimar Republic.
