First imo it is no EICKHORN scabbard but a HÖRSTER scabbard. From the not detailed pics also the pommels seems to be HÖRSTER and not EICKHORN. The logo-maker-marked blades are assumed to be from earliest vintage so I would like to see proper EICKHORN parts.
I am aware that, also with this certain kind of dagger, EICKHORN on rare occasions did use HÖRSTER parts but to my best knowledge and feeling only late in the war (time of dagger production) so contrary to a very early maker marked example.
Also the applying of the mm does not conform to what I do know about early EICKHORN HJleaders.
As nearly in each case a careful in hand inspection by an experienced collector would be necessary and highly recommended.
Recently (fall 2008) several imo good fakes did appear, also one early with this certain mm.
Be extremely careful on HJleader daggers. Fakes still CAN be detected but need a very careful inspection (naturally as the original ones too
).
