Original German WWII Early 1st Model Luftwaffe Dagger by Carl Eickhorn with Scabbard & Belt Hanger Chain Mortars Ewart of AkronOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This is a great 1st Model Luftwaffe Dagger made in in the late 1930s, made by the legendary Solingen based firm of Carl Eickhorn, Stahlwarenfabrik (Steelware Factory). It has the earliest pattern fittings on the blade and steel scabbard, which were nickel alloy, which were both plated and then coated with a type of blue oxide finish. As the finish ages, it gives them a lovely patina from the degradation of the top finish,
