Germany, Heer. A Rare Officers Dress Dagger with Damascus Blade & Presentation Case, by Carl Eickhorn

(Heer Offiziersdolch mit Etui). A rare and exceptionally well-preserved Heer Officer’s dress dagger, measuring 400 mm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 265 mm-long magnetic metal Damascus blade with a sharpened tip and semi-sharpened edges. The obverse of the blade features an intricate gilt inscription of “ORIGINAL EICKHORN BLANKE WAFFEN” in Fraktur script, while the reverse bears a gilt insignia in the form of the Eickhorn firm’s classic squirrel logo. The blade sits securely within a silvered zink alloy crossguard, the obverse of which presents with a raised and finely-detailed Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika. A fully intact black leather buffer pad covers the seam of the blade and crossguard. The handle grip is composed of a single piece of ribbed light brown celluloid. It completes with a flattened and rounded pommel, bearing oak leaves around the circumference, securely maintaining the structural integrity of the dagger. It is accompanied by its period original scabbard, constructed of a pebbled magnetic metal shaft. Two integrated bands are set around the upper quarter of the shaft, each bearing raised oak leaves, which connect to two loops for the accommodation of a dagger hanger. The throat retains a functional spring catch, securely holding the dagger in place during storage, and is held together by a single side rivet. It is accompanied by a period original presentation case, constructed of a heavy wooden frame with a faux black leather exterior. The interior features a padded white satin lid liner with dual intact hinge covers. A gilt Eickhorn squirrel logo appears on the liner, above an inscription of “ORIGINAL EICKHORN SOLINGEN”. A slotted black velvet medal bed is customized to seamlessly fit the dagger and scabbard separately. It opening with two functional bronze snap buttons and two hinges of identical construction. The case measures 420 mm (w) x 140 mm (l) x 52 mm (h). The dagger displays only minimal signs of age, while some material fatigue is evident to the exterior liner of the case. This striking and complete set is in an overall extremely fine condition.
