Looks to me you got a couple of desirable blades there.
The Navy dagger rig is very complete and is a textbook Eickhorn in great condition.

Only rules for sales: Is you list it in the sales section and can only make changers ( price adjustments) after 5 days. Must list price, good photos and disclose any defects. http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=916197
