Just got these two HJ's indirectly from the vet through a fellow collector. I am not a dagger guy really, but it still goes to show that there are stone mint daggers out there waiting to be found. These two were obviously not issued and picked up by the vet together.
Just thought I would show some picks of these minty ones Wink

The leather is still supple and not dried out. Both scabbards are anodized and show only minor storage scuffs.

Nice deep mottos with full crossgrain. Probably not been out of their scabbards much.

Transitionals with no date which I assume would be between 37' and 38'

Blades are stone mint. Hard to really show the true condition with digital pictures and my average photography skills.

Diamonds and grips are also chip free and perfect.

Great twin you got there, congratulations!

Have not seen many of those double marked Eickhorn HJ's without the year stamped in the ricasso. These are 38 or earlier anyway.

Best greetings,

Herman

Great and rare to find in this condition.The prices for such are going up .I have sold end of the last year a very nice HJ on militaria321,but not in the shape as yours,for 350 EUR.
Best.

Great pair of HJ's. What I found interesting is the different size rivets and leather on the scabbards. Any one would like these in their collection.

Is the area around the swastika silver or gold colored? I thought they were supposed to be gold but I have one that is just "clean looking" and wondered if the gold had rubbed off. Nice condition. Charlie
Posted By: ksfinley Re: 2 mint Eickhorns - 07/07/2007 06:34 AM
The area around the swastika is just tarnished. And yes the scabbards are a little different, even the shape is different.
Posted By: Chief Re: 2 mint Eickhorns - 07/08/2007 01:34 AM
WOW!
Great Find!
They are exactly what I have been looking for!
Let me know if they are ever for sale.
