This German Heer Dagger is an exquisite, top-quality example of the standard German Army officer dagger. The steel blade is bright and beautiful, and very well-preserved, with excellent cross-graining. The blade is crisply etched on the reverse ricasso with the “squirrel” logo of Carl Eickhorn, a maker known for high quality craftsmanship. The handle on this dagger is gorgeous and boasts an eye-catching yellow Trylon grip that is free of chips, cracks or damage. The crossguard and pommel are very nice, with a light, attractive patina. This German Heer Dagger is complete with its original scabbard. The scabbard shows crisp pebbling and is complete with the both original suspension rings. The scabbard body has an even patina that perfectly matches the metal fittings on the handle. Overall, this is really a very nice dagger, with exceptional eye appeal. The condition rates as a very strong excellent plus.
