1/6/21 - This is a WW2 production SS Dagger made by Eickhorn. The blade is in excellent condition with strong cross graining and a RZM maker code 941/40. This code was used by Carl Eickhorn. The wood handle has some light fading of the black dye, but has no cracks or chips. The scabbard is excellent with no dents and almost all of the black paint in tact.
