Hi Dan...glad to finally have caught up with you at least at the hotel ....this is the 4th type logo Eickhorn used and I also only hacve seen them on your white gripped example.
Im hopeful Gerrit will chime on this thread as well since hes been MIA in Bermuda

The general rule with the Pre- 1945 Eickhorn trade marks is the Squirrel's feet are always pointing towards the blade tip. Post WW2 Eichhorn used the trademark facing the opposite direction, even with the earlier 1935-41 trade mark. I understand this was to differentiate it's earlier Third Reich production and post war production. They did continue after the war making Hunting daggers of the same design as used pre-1945 so the Squirrel's orientation on the blade is one way to identify a post war blade.

Great Info Peter

IMO the blade with the badly stamped Eickhorn trademark that is facing the oposite (wrong) direction is post war.

Thanks for the info Peter and Danny ! …. Dagger is in my possession but I don’t own it …
So that’s good. I didn’t know that info on the postwar production … thanks ! Dan

You guys need to go to WAF and see the Thread regarding the orientation of this mark, in my opinion there is conclusive proof that this supposed upside down mark was used late on during the period.

Post it here if there is "conclusive proof". I agree with Danny the execution of that stamped logo mark is crap. Eickhorn stamped marks were always crisp, as can be seen in the OP's other example. That's the other indication of post war manufacture.
