pair of Eickhorn daggers (SS ans SA)
Hi,

Those crossguards do not look like Eickhorn guards to me and the SA grip finish is unlike any Eickhorn I have seen.
And, it looks like identical eagles, guards, and very thin, scratchy crossgrain on both blades.

All of it.
The grip eagles are current repro and is easily comparable to many SA and SS Eickhorn daggers within this forum.
No need to post them separately.
Lets see the tang markings and also internal crossguard foundry marks if any.
Whats the surprise ?...or maybe the price you paid perhaps?

I hope you didn’t spend any money on these, otherwise I feel very sorry for you.
I don’t own a lot of daggers myself (10 only), but it wasn’t very difficult for me to see that these are not good (the wood, the eagles, the wear (or natural aging of materials), no scabbard? Etc.)).
The only positive thing about these is that you have learned to post the items on this forum before buying (something I still do, even after 4 years weekly collecting (mainly belts and buckles and documents)).
As said, those are not good daggers.

It's a pair of miniatures, you have next to a dagger of the right size ;-)
We were led to believe differently that these were full size daggers with no other explanation except to bait the community into forcing us to jump to reliable conclusions which for what we have seen in the original photos in your first post ...our comments were warranted.
None the less ...these are very good re-creations and clean looking ...yet they do not compare to original miniature examples in certain detail.
These would make good end table conversation pieces.

Quite something, those are nice miniatures. Impressive

Well there are no original SS & SA miniatures, so that makes it very easy
NSDAP never gave permit to produce miniatures, thats why you only see repro's.....
