Here we have a quality made forestry dagger with solid brass fittings, and made from the famous Eickhorn factory. The Eickhorn company were based in Solingen, and was renowned for its production of high-quality edged weapons and attention to detail.
The handle on this dagger is made from a beautiful piece of stag horn with three detailed brass acorns placed evenly down the centre grip. The pommel, knuckle bow and clamshell cross guard are also all made out of brass and have not been cleaned for some time, showing a nice patina.
The blade shows the double ovel Eickhorn logo, which tells us it would have probably been made during the mid 1930s. Both sides of the blade show impressive detailed hunting scenes, running almost the length of the blade. The blade does show age related wear and pitting to one side of the blade but I have certainly seen worse and this has been reflected in the price of the item.
The leather on the scabbard is in good condition with all the stitching to the back intact.
The lower and upper scabbard fittings are brass with an acorn for a frog stud on the upper fitting. The rear of the upper scabbard fitting does show a dent but would be covered by a frog if the next owner decides to get one. Total length of dagger measures 52cm.

Overall a good quality piece and a lot of dagger for the money.
