This RAD Dagger by Eickhorn is in good nice condition, directly by the family of the carrier with photo collection and badges. Model 1934 for RAD EM Hewer. The total length is 39.5 cm. The Hewer has the maker mark on the blade: Original Eickhorn, Solingen.
Grip: The hilt area is in nice condition. The beak and ferrule area still have a good crispness about them. The grip plates are a fine genuine stag, having nice appealing dark browns and tans. The edges of these grip plates are a golden color. The plates are retained by screw and spanner hardware. The screws do not appear to have been turned.
Blade: The matte finish blade is a fine example, showing some nominal usage. The surfaces are still very good here, and the RAD motto is perfectly etched with 100% of the background darkening being intact. This blade is in EXC++ condition. The reverse ricasso is etched with the RAD triangle, and below are the patent pending words, “Ges.Gesch.” Below this is the Eickhorn trademark used from 1935 through 1941. It consists of an etched squirrel holding a downward pointing sword. Above the squirrel is the word “original”, and below is the firm’s name and location, “Eickhorn, Solingen”.
Scabbard: The scabbard shell is nice and straight. This shell has very good original black paint. There are some normal scratches here and there, this paints rates at probably about 70%. The nickel plated scabbard mounts are in good condition. These mounts show some minor age here and there. The lower mount has a few very small rust lifts. Otherwise, these mounts are good being deeply stamped with the RAD curls at the top, and at the bottom is stamped on both sides with the two wheat sheafs having the shovel with swastika in the center. The original screws are in place.

Don't know where he found the rolled up socks, but he must have been playing with them, before he fell asleep
