Help me to buy an Eickhorn Army dagger

[Alex Ciavaglia]

Hello Guys,
I'm planning to buy a 2nd model Eichorn Army Dagger. Because i'd like to buy it with all original pieces (not mixed with the ones of other makers) and features I need some advice and some detailled shots of a very original dagger. Please help me.
Greetings from Italy,
Alex

Hello Alex,

I have an Army dagger, all complete, not a parts dagger, so take a look and let me know what you think.

A little help...

Alex,

Sorry I don't have an Army by Eickhorn in my collection to post photos.

While +\- $100.00 may seem like a lot of money to spend when you're saving for a dagger, you should invest in a copy of Wittmann's Army book. It will answer all your questions and continue to serve you long after you've made your first purchase.

Good luck,
Skip

Okay Alex,

Here’s some Eickhorn Army Photos. To try and preserve the details, I didn't photo all of the blade.

and the trademark.

Keep in mind that Eickhorn used different trademarks at different stages of the war. Also, they didn’t come with an orange grip, this one has just turned color.
