Hello Ilse welcome to the forum and sorry to give you some bad news....
The blade is repro junk.
On these NPEA leaders daggers..Carl Eickhorn did not use a small double oval trade mark as seen in your photo.
The rest of the dagger may be as bad as well...but the blade bins it.
The early type 1935-41
the later post 1941 logo used
GDC Reference photos
Regards Larry

Hi Larry!
Thank you for your fast answer and your competent informations.
I'm glad now i don't get the dagger. I had a bad feeling in my stomach. Some other bidder shot it for 1110 € that's 1.271 US $.
Now i knew a little bit more about that type of NPEA dagger.
Best Regards, Frank

Hello Ilse ,glad to help out ...another red flag is that price tag of $1271 US .
Market value for an authentic Chained leader will start in the $4000.00 US range.
That other bidder once he finds out will have a bad feeling in HIS stomach

Larry nailed it, the blade says it all.
The logo is a give away but in fact you only need that one picture you showed of the motto.
There is totally no sign of crossgrain its a brushed blade, and that is not period.
Compare it with the blade that Billy shows, eventhough that blade shows quite some aging there is still crossgrain visible.
