German WWII SS Himmler Dagger by Eickhorn-This textbook example of a Himmler Honor dagger features early nickel-silver pommel nut and a crossguard that shows only light wear. This is an untouched example, as there is no indication that the pommel nut has been touched. This is definitely a “WOW” piece. The top crossguard has some slight discoloration to please be sure to look closely at the photos. We believe this to be some of the copper base of nickel alloy showing through. The bottom of the crossguard has the number 6 deeply etched into the underside which is the number assigned to the craftsman who originally assembled this dagger. The black ebony wooden grip is excellent. It shows hardly any wear and is free of chips or any damage whatsoever. The SS runic button retains all of its enamel and finish, it is excellent. So is the nickel silver eagle. Both are a tight fit to the handle. The scabbard is also a thing of beauty. It has light anodizing, that gives this a good look. There is a slight scuff on the reverse, but this is not a distraction at all. The nickel fittings are very good, and I only say that since there is a very small dent in the scabbard ball at the tip. It is very slightly flattened. The blade is in fine overall condition with the usual in and out marks, but virtually no damage otherwise. The motto which translates to “My Honor Is Loyalty” is deeply etched into the blade. The Himmler dedication is also very clear. Just above the Himmler dedication is a very early Eickhorn squirrel logo. This is an unquestionable textbook example! It is complete with a short black leather hanger with “D” ring loop. The hanger has the nickel silver fittings which are also 100% correct for this rare dagger. The clip is nicely marked M5/71 for Overhoff & Cie of Lüdenscheid. This just couldn’t be any better. A rare beauty for sure!
