Heer Dagger Mid Period Eickhorn

[heers68]

Thanks Larry!

Ger, I agree that Aluminum Eick is a puzzler.. I think they may have just used the old type one molds for the Aluminum experiment? That would answer the question of why the 2nd MM was being used on them... just a theory...

Thanks for the info and feedback

Kevin while a couple of years ago only a few Alu Type 1 Eicks where known, more and different configs came to the surface.
Not only in full alu construction.
i have owned already 4 full alu types and skipped 2 more.
They also come with a steel scabbard with first type scabbardbands and 1 backscrew, also similar to the early type 2.
I have seen 4 of them in the last year only...so new ones come to surface which lets us understand more about these rare birds ....

There are so many variations from Army Daggers and that is what it makes so great collecting them for me!

Congrats on the great pickup!

Thanks. The side cap was picked up at the show as well. I always enjoy putting a grouping together for a photo shoot.

Although Eickhorn made some lovely designs-models but i think they cant stand the test against the true artist of army daggers: Ernst Pack & Sohne

Here a few of my collection….if your look carefully you will discover a full Alu type 1 Eickhorn in the small stash
