Army (Heer) Officer Dagger by Carl Eickhorn
SOLD!
A very nice WW2 German Dagger, this Heer Officer Dagger bears the Carl Eickhorn Solingen maker mark on the blade. The blade measures 10.25”, and is the traditional stiletto style with flat central ridge. Total length (including the hilt) is approximately 14.5″. This dagger has never been cleaned, stored untouched since World War 2, and purchased directly from the daughter of the vet who brought it home. Aside from a hairline crack in the handle, the dagger is virtually without flaw considering it was a used war time piece.

The story of the soldier who brought this dagger home goes as follows:
Floyd Alfred Peabody volunteered for the Army in 1943, and served in the 787th Ordinance Company of the 87th Infantry Division. Active duty included the Battles of Metz, Saar Basin, and the Battle of the Bulge. Additional World War 2 duties included the liberation of the Dachau Concentration Camp. Floyd was awarded 7 service medals, including 3 Bronze Stars. Returning home on leave in 1945, Floyd met Val (his wife). He was scheduled to ship out to the China Burma India Theater 30 days later, but V-J Day occurred during this leave. Floyd was discharged in February, 1946.

Luftwaffe M42 Winter Camo Single Decal SD Helmet
SOLD!Here we have an interesting M42 Luftwaffe Single Decal helmet with the remnants of the winter camo still present around the eagle, the rim, and other areas of the exterior. This is not uncommon as the soldier “scrubbed” the camo on/off of the helmet depending on the terrain. Winter camo Luftwaffe helmets are very difficult to find in any condition, and while the white of the camo has been scrubbed from the surface, even having the remnants present makes this a rare find.

Early SA Dagger by maker C.G. Haenel Suhl
SOLD!A truly exceptional early example of an SA Dagger by the C.G. Haenel firm. It doesn’t get much better than this in terms of overall quality. From handle to tip this is a real screamer! The nice walnut grip on this dagger shows some of the most striking grain of any SA daggers out there. Very few dings or scratches can be found on the surface, and no notable cracks.

Hi Alex.
Thanks for posting! I’d be happy to review your dagger for you. I just need to see photos showing both sides of the entire length of the dagger and scabbard, and close up shots showing the entire handle area (both sides). Once I see these photos I can provide feedback. Send them to me via the Free Appraisal link at the top of the page.
Thanks again!

Ever dagger is different in areas such as condition, color, accessories, maker, etc. All of these areas play an important part in the value. Use the “Free Appraisal” link above (the red banner at the top right) and you’ll be able to attach photos and provide details.

I have one of these daggers. It has a dent in the scabbard, and a small chip in the handle. Otherwise it looks good!
