Herman, The HJ on the far right of this picture is amazing, especially for such an early piece. Would I be right in thinking that this was the first Eick trademark found on HJ's?.

Hello Degens,
You certainly have a eye for quality... I was indeed very happy when I found that specific HJ knife.
Yes, I believe the "single oval" was the first Eickhorn mark used on HJ knifes.
But what I find interesting though, is that the "Ges Gesch" mark would have disappeared afterwards... The next early HJ with the double oval -on the left of the single- does not has it anymore...
Best regards,
Herman

Here is mine. The strap is missing half, the diamond is fractured, the leather washer is split at the bottom. The scabbard is anodized.

Wow, Not one but three, I have owned a few of the double oval Eicks but never one with this earliest TM which I always thought dated to around 1931/2. Herman, that HJ you show is truly stunning, when you consider who these where carried by and the timeframe that it was produced, it does not look like it was ever worn. Amazing condition. In fact one with this TM in any condition is a rarity. Thank you for sharing.
