opinions needed on 2 kreigsmarines

I have seen two Kg Daggers, one with its wire missing from the grip, and would welcome opinions on them. I attach some pictures.
Thanks,
Peter.

Nice, no problems here, both are textbook Eickhorns, one early, the other late period. Nice to see toned nylon portapees, don't often see that, most look almost new.

Thanks Red and Andy. Would the missing wire wrap on one of the handles affect the value. Which is early, the one with or without the wire wrap, and does this affect the value?
Sorry to be so pestilential and thanks for your time.
Peter.

The one missing the wire is a later piece. Yes the missing wire lowers the value some.

[peterwyndavies]

Thanks Ed.
Any idea how much it lowers the value ?
Thanks,

Nice conditioned Navys would sell for about $1-1.3k.

The late war over shoulder marked one would maybe go for the top of that range.

The grip wire would reduce this by about $200 to 300, which is what a replacement grip would probably sell for (occasionally you see these parts on sale on auction sites).
