SS Dagger by Eickhorn, RZM-941/39-SS “The Rat”
Price: Sold
Description: A choice uncleaned late Eickhorn SS Service Dagger with a ‘SS 78/40 RZM’ marked vertical hanger and beautifully preserved ebony wood grip. The plated hardware throughout reflect fine naturally patinated surfaces. The blade is Mint with ALL its cross-grain showing and the SS Motto retains ALL of its etched darkening. The original scabbard paint is outstanding being +99%. This dagger is etched with the Carl Eickhorn code ‘RZM 941/39 SS’ positioned over the solitary squirrel logo. This logo form is frequently called “fake” by inexperienced collectors, however, it is correct and quite rare. The simple late squirrel logo that Eickhorn used is often referred to as the ‘Rat’ by experienced collectors today. An excellent to near mint late SS Service Dagger with its original SS marked Vertical hanger PLUS having the ‘Rat logo’ makes this piece a real winner!
