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.

    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!

    Hi Sean! In order for me to provide an accurate value of your particular dagger, I’ll need to see photos showing the sale sides and areas of the dagger you see in the photos above. 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!
