looks fine to me . The troddel/portepee looks like a repro but I could be wrong.

[Matthew J.]

Well I dont think it is fake, but there is aways that chance....... I am not a knife collector I dont even really like them......Thanks Matt

Nice original bayo with early stretch grip plates and rare Eickhorn maker mark.
My only advice to your sir is not to start liking it too much.
Edged Weapons are addictive!!

Nice piece.
The NCO Troddel looks fine by me.The frog however,is for an S84/98 bayonet IMO.

Nice looking bayonet, I think if you were going to take a chance that you did well. This is how it started with me too.

A super very early Eickhorn in excellent condition. Well Done.

Well thanks everyone so i guess it is a good one then. Now I have to make up my mind if I am going to keep it or not......Matt

Agreed...the bayonet and knot are fine, just paired up with the wrong frog (the frog is original but not for a dress bayonet)

Best,
Skip

You did very well! Hard to find makers mark (early) and the frog is wrong but still think you did very well for yourself. Matt
