Early Army (Heer) Dagger by Alcoso
Just in is this very nice early Army Dagger by Alcoso.
The blade is very nice indeed and shows little wear with a fine tip and the maker mark is the early and rarely seen ACS with scales. This blade has a tapered tang as seen on early examples. Stunning blade!
The grip is again early in that it is a slant variety in yellow solid trolon. There are 2 very small datk lines in the grip but the rest is fine with no chips.
The fittings are correct for Alcoso and the crossguard is the 3rd type used by the maker. The pommel is also the correct Alcoso type. All these fittings are covered in a nice even dark patina.
The scabbard is in great shape and is dent free and is also covered in the same dark patina as the fittings. The throat is retained by 2 side screws.

Army (Heer) Dagger by Carl Eickhorn

The grip is orange trolon that has aged with a medium orange to the front and the reverse has a lighter shade, looks really great !! There is one very minor hairline that can be seen near the ferrule ring on the obverse.
The crossguard and pommel are typical Eickhorn examples with the 2nd style crossguard used by Eickhorn. There is some wear to the nickel silver plating on the eagle but not bad.
The scabbard remains in great shape with just a small depression right at the tip that is not really that obvious. The rest is excellent and the thick throat is retained by a rear centre screw.

Army (Heer) Dagger with Stunning Grip
If you like to collect Army daggers for their grip colours then this could be for you!
The blade is a real beauty. It is a plain no maker blade and there is crossgrain present and a needle sharp tip.
The grip is a real stunner and is very dark orange bordering on red. You do not see them this dark very often. There are 2 very minor chips on the upper contour of one of the thinner segments which I have shown in the pictures. These are very minor but mentioned for accuracy. The rest of the grip is fine with no other chips or hairlines.
The crossguard on this is the 3rd style used by Alcoso and is in great shape with no plating loss. The pommel does not appear to be by Alcoso but fits well and could have been put together in this fashion wartime with it being a plain non maker marked blade.
The scabbard remains in decent shape with no dents and just very minor plating loss on the sides but again not bad. The throat has 2 side screws that are present.

Partial Ground Rohm SA by E Pack and Sohn
Here is a nice partially ground Rohm SA dagger by E Pack with hanger.
The blade remains in decent shape and this is where the money is on this piece. The motto is nice and dark as is the Pack maker mark which remains complete (unusual for a Ground Rohm). The Rohm dedication appears to have been removed in the field as I have counted 12 points where the Rohm dedication is still visible. The tip is needle sharp on this piece.
The grip is very nice here and it is quite light with no chips or cracks. The eagle and SA roundel remain fine.
The typical Pack crossguards are solid nickel silver and in fine shape with the Gau mark 'No'.
The scabbard has 2 shallow dents (one on either side). It is a bit strange in that it looks like the anodising has bubbled evenly over the whole surface. I have tried to picture this. The fittings are typical Pack and fine displaying light age. The ball has taken a minor hit. All screws are present and in decent shape.
This piece comes complete with a short hanger in decent shape.

Government Officials Dagger by Carl Eickhorn
This has to be one of the finest daggers I have sold to date. It is a Government Officials Dagger by a rare maker (for these daggers) Carl Eickhorn. The majority of these daggers are produced by Alcoso.
This dagger is from a collector who managed to buy it about 4 years ago from the family of the Vet who brought it back from the war. It was taken from a high ranking official in 1945. It took about a year for the seller to clinch the deal and luckily for us he managed it.
The blade remains in nice shape and exhibits crossgraining on both sides. There are some very minor dark spots here and there mainly around the maker mark , but they are not bad at all. The maker mark is nice and crisp and has a dark etch. The tip is needle sharp and perfect.
The hilt is superb! The grip is mother of pearl over a wooden core. They are in superb shape and look stunning. The eagle head pommel is very nice indeed and being the early Eickhorn variety is all quality with no bubbling or flaking. The hilt is secured to the blade with a small flush nut having 2 holes that is removed using a special tool. There is a small scratch on nut but not bad.
The crossguard has the eagle looking to the left (as you look at it) indicating it is a Government Official as opposed to a Diplomat which has the eagle looking to the right. It is all in solid nickel silver and has nice detail.
The scabbard compliments the dagger very well and is pretty much mint! There is not a mark on it. The scabbard bands are the correct oak leaf design and display excellent detail. The thick throat (typically Eickhorn) is retained by 2 side screws which are both present.
As most of you may know these GO daggers are internally numbered on the various parts. The previous owner on 1 occasion dismantled the dagger and photographed the insides showing the number '33' on the internal parts. I can send a copy of these photos if required.
This is an absolutely stunning piece and would take top spot in most collections.
One for the advanced collector, rated Exc +++.

The scabbard also remains in great shape with just one very minor impression on the reverse but its not bad. The rest is fine and both throat screws remain in great shape.
This dagger comes with an original portapee which is a bit tatty but remains in tact.

The black felt on the rear is in great shape and the regain chain is all complete. One of the clips has lost its spring but again all complete and all the guilt is nice.

Weimar/Early 3rd Reich Shooting Hirschfänger
Here we have something out of the normal for me and something that I have sought outside help to confirm its identity and originality.
What we have is a Weimar/Early 3rd Reich Shooting Hirschfanger.
This piece can only be described as Near Mint throughout and is simply stunning!!
The blade is by ACS (Alexander Coppel Solingen) with the scales logo and measures just over 39cm(15 1/2 inches). The total length of the piece is 55cm. There is a red felt buffer pad. The etch is absolutely stunning remaining dark on both sides with no issues and depicts hunting scenes with floral designs and a shooting target. Awesome blade!!
The grip appears stag horn in a curved design and has three brass acorns on the obverse. All this again is pretty much mint with no issues.
The crossguard is in brass and consists of an animals hooves in an upward and downward direction. There is a grooved clamshell piece suspended from the crossguard on the obverse.
Above and below the grip is a brass collar with 5 grooves on the ferrule area and 3 just below the pommel. The pommel consists of an umbrella shape with accent grooves and a small acorn piece covering a small sphere.
The scabbard is black leather with two grooves running down the face front and rear and is stitched to the centre on the reverse. The scabbard rates near mint with no tears or wear with just very minor pressure marks near the base. The upper and lower fittings are in brass both held by a single staple with a number under each staple but I cannot make out what they are. These fittings are again pretty much mint with the upper having a small acorn tab to hold the frog. The brass has taken on a nice patina.
This piece comes with the correct style leather frog which I have been informed could be a post war copy and so I am describing it as such. It is all in superb shape and has a V shaped notch which sits below the brass acorn on the scabbard.
This piece is finished off with a green portapee which I am told is for a subordinate forestry hirschfanger from the Third Reich era. It has a brown inner on the knot and is in fine condition with just minor discoloration part way down.
Overall a stunning piece and has to be rated Near Mint.
Red Cross Hewer (DRK)
The blade is in nice shape and has cross graining still visible on both sides. There are some minor specks of grey but not so bad. The saw back remains in good shape with no issues.

The grip plates are in excellent shape and have no issues. They have the typical chequered pattern on the obverse and smooth on the reverse.
The crossguard and pommel are the usual pot metal with nickel silver plating and pretty much all the plating is left.
The scabbard is in nice shape with about 98% of the original paint remaining. There are some light carry marks on both sides.The fittings are the matching plated type and are fine with just a small patch of pitting on the lower obverse.Both scabbard throat screws are present.

If you want an Army dagger that is virtually a 'one off' then this is for you. I am selling it on behalf of a customer and it has been discussed on Germandaggers.com with favourable comments, please see the following link;
The blade is a stunner and has full crossgrain on both sides with virtually no wear. The tip is needle sharp and the mark is KLIHASO which as discussed is believed to be Klitterman and Moog. As you will find this has probably never been seen before and as such could be a 'one off'.

The crossguard and pommel are the early silver plated brass based examples and are again in fine shape showing nice detail.
The scabbard is a generic example and has a repair to one of the scabbard bands and two very minor dents (mentioned for accuracy). The scabbard throat is retained by a single centre screw which is present.

Red Cross Hewer (DRK)
This Red Cross Hewer is just in with the typical unmarked blade with just the Ges Geschutz (Pat Pending) stamped on the blade under the crossguard. This one is produced by P.D. Luneschloss as can be established by the 'pressed' lower scabbard fitting and the letters PDL stamped on the tang under the grips.
The blade is the usual heavy saw tooth edge piece that has the squared off tip (as the Red Cross were not permitted to carry pointed edged weapons). It is in very nice condition with much cross graining and very little signs of wear. The leather buffer pad is still present and in great condition.
The grips are the typical black plastic that are chequered on the obverse and smooth on the reverse. They are in nice condition with no chips or cracks.
The crossguard and pommel are the later plated pot metal variety and have stood the test of time very well. Virtually all the plating remains and are in excellent condition.
The scabbard is also in nice condition and 99% of the black paint remains. It is difficult to tell if it has had an old repaint as there is a small area of uneveness under the paint . That aside it looks really nice. The fittings are the matching plated variety which has worn a little on both fittings.
Overall a really nice DRK rated Exc+.
Red Cross Leader Dagger
The blade is in nice shape. There are 2 small areas of peppering near the hilt but the rest of the blade is really nice with virtually all of the cossgraining remaining. In my experience these Red Cross Leader blades did not hold up too well and its not that often you see them with so much crossgraining left. It is unmarked as is the norm on these daggers.
The grip is a nice deep orange on the obverse and the reverse has a lighter finish to it obviously occurred over time . There are no chips or cracks. Lovely grip !!
The nickel plated crossguard and pommel have stood the test of time very well and there are no issues. The eagle holding the red cross symbol is nice and crisp with no wear. The pommel nut is again in fantastic shape with virtually no wear.

Fire Officials Dress Dagger
First one of these that I have had and its a pretty nice piece by Carl Eickhorn.

SA Dagger RZM7/33( F.W. Holler)
If you only want one late RZM SA dagger then I think this would more than fit the bill.
The blade is stunning with full crossgrain on both sides with a nice deep motto and maker mark RZM7/33. The tip is needle sharp and there is no sharpening.
The grip is a very nice example and displays very little wear with no repairs or flakes. The crossguard to grip fit is superb and better than you would see on most early SA daggers. The eagle is a very nice eye catching copper based example and still has traces of the silver wash in the recesses. The SA roundel is perfect showing no wear.
The crossguards are the correct nickel plated variety and although they were prone to flaking from the moisture from the grip, these are in fantastic shape and the plating is 100% in tact.
This piece is finished off with a superb scabbard that is the correct painted variety that is original with only one very minor blemish. The fittings are matching nickel plated and are perfect with no wear. All screws are present and the ball is perfect.

Teno Leaders Dagger by Eickhorn
Just in is this nice Teno Leaders dagger by the only company that made them , Carl Eickhorn. As you may be aware these daggers are about as rare as they come and not the sort of thing that becomes available very often.
The blade has some scratches and cleaning to it but remains bright with no rust or pitting. The maker mark and Teno mark (eagle clutching the Teno symbol) remain dark and crisp. The serial number on the blade and scabbard are matching although the number 3263 is feint on the blade. It is etched on the obverse of the blade underneath the swastica on the crossguard.The original leather buffer washer is present and in tact.
The grip is superb with no chips or cracks. It is the typical solid trolon and is a medium yellow. Very nice !!
The crossguard and pommel on these Teno Leader daggers have a tendency to become tatty as they were nickel silver plated and usually lose the plating over the years. This one however retains the majority of the plating and dark oxidisation that was applied when made. There is a little plating loss along the outer edge of the pommel but the rest is fine. The definition to both the eagle on the crossguard and cog wheel on the pommel is excellent.
The scabbard remains in great shape with no dents. There is the odd minor spot but not bad. The dark oxidised finish remains pretty good and matches it on the crossguard and pommel. The serial number 3263 is clearly stamped on the scabbard throat.
Here is perhaps a once in a lifetime chance to get your hands on a very rare dagger at a great price. Rated Exc.

The grip is a nice example. There is a small repair to the right of the Runes that is hard to see and minor flaking on the obverse near the lower crossguard. Sounds worse than it is. The reverse side of the grip is near perfect! The eagle is a superb nickel silver example and the SS Runes is mint.
The crossguards are solid nickel silver and are in great shape with the number 1 roman numeral (District mark) on the reverse.
