This RAD Dagger by Eickhorn is in EXC+ condition throughout. Model 1934 for RAD Hewer. The total length is 39.5 cm. The Hewer has the maker mark on the blade: Carl Eickhorn Solingen. The Hewer are completely uncleaned and with patina. The whole lot comes directly from the carrier family #Juhnke.

Grip: The grip plates are a most beautiful antler and fit the dagger flawlessly. These stag grips match each other in terms of color tones in both the surfaces.

Blade: The blade is in EXC+ condition and it has the typical Bowie-style end, with a fine narrow fuller. The obverse facing bears the RAD motto, “Arbeit Adelt”. The reverse of this blade is etched with a RJAD triangle and the protected patent term “Ges Gesch” and the maker mark Carl Eickhorn Solingen.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is completely straight. The paint is very nearly 95%. The nickel-plated scabbard mounts are also beauties, but uncleaned. All of the stampings have the original background darkening. As is always the case with these pieces there is a line of beading that runs around the edges of the mounts where they meet the scabbard shell.
