A German Second World War 3rd Pattern Railway Officer’s Dagger
A magnificent blade by Eickhorn, all cross grain finish remaining with the etched Eickhorn logo illuminated in matt grey. It is normally very difficult to find a railway officials dagger where all the fittings match, as they are constructed from different materials, this example although the upper parts are all in aluminium and the scabbard is in nickel, the brushed finished originally factory applied to match the aluminium fittings is virtually all intact on the scabbard, slight rubbing through to the brass finish on the scabbard rings and a small area between the upper scabbard ring and the throat is thin but all matches. Standard black celluloid grip with no cracks. A very fine example of this rare dagger, excellent condition £2,600-£3,000
