The dagger is completely textbook. No problems.

I see nothing wrong-it looks fine. I particularly like the eagle on these 4th pattern Eickhorn guards.

Since it has the early slant grip this one wouldn't be made of zinc right?
Thanks for the help wagriff and dr73..
It's a nice dagger but it doesn't have a slant grip. It's the fourth and last type of the Eickhorn crossguards.
Danny
True...the 4th Eickhorn guards were used from 1937 thru 1942. This dagger is not actually an early made but more to the later era manufacture. It's quite probable zinc metal, but it does have a considerable bit of plating intact.

Like Danny stated its no Slant grip, its a late C Type, fits perfectly the timeframe of this 4th pattern Eick.
Compare it with kevins slant...

Thank you all for the help and teaching me more about heer daggers.. is there a way to tell what material a dagger is Made of? Like with a magnit or another test? ( I do understand late daggers are made of zinc just for the future when I go to gunshows and looking around town.)
wagriff- you are always helping me I really do appreciate the good advice . Thank you friend
Gerrit- thanks for the picture I can see the difference now. Very nice of you to take the time to post a pic.
Dr- thanks for the post.
