Eickhorn LW dagger white grip...??

[hounddog]

Hi all..

Do any of you Guys know if Eickhorn ever made white colored grips for their LW 2nd type daggers..???
I have seen one for sale, but all the Eickhorns I have seen before have orange grips.
Any opinions are welcome....thanks..

Flemming,

Flemming,

I never owned one in white. What I've got are light orange or lemon yellow. Don't believe Eick 2nd Lufts used white.

I will post a couple of photos later today....

This is the only white gripped Eick that I have.

LW dagger

Hi..

I have tried to upload 4 Photos of the LW dagger with white grip. Try this link and see if it works for you: http://tinypic.com/useralbum.php?ua=...bBBQlXdw%3D%3D

The crossguard looks like a WKC to me, which is not unusual on a late Eickhorn. I am more curious to hear if you can tell me about the white grip and if Eickhorn made white grips for their LW daggers....??

Thanks...Flemming.

Dagger grip, pommel and crossguard are correct for generic 2. Luftwaffe dagger.
But Eickhorn scabbard and 1940. blade?
Not for me.

Isn't that an ivory grip ?

I have had Ivory effect grips made by wkc that look similar to that shown, don't know if eickhorn had a similar grip.

I saw the pics but that wire looks to be brass and not what eickhorn used for 2nd lufts.

[hounddog]

Can the grip be a WKC type also with that brass wire..?? I have seen WKC daggers with the same type wire.

Makes sense with a WKC grip and crossguard and Eickhorn scabbard and blade. Makes me believe it's a "part dagger"

Other collectors have mentioned that Eickhorn did not make white grips.

[nickn]

Don't all the " rules" go out the window if the grip is special order?
Ivory or faux

[hounddog]

You are absolutely right about the special order, everything is possible. The different items are WKC and Eick, which is not uncommon.

Handle wire is generic, and and pommel and crossguard also.

It is a parts piece. Eick 2nd lufts are either yellow or orange gripped. Genuine Ivory is whole different category .
