Never thought I'd find another one of these especially not in this condition, probably the best of the four I have, came with the forestry knot, not sure if it is original to the piece or was added, I know it isn't regulation but who knows for sure.

A wonderful 1711 in extremely admirable condition. Love that frosted silvering/black patinated look.
I think to remember that I do own a "wearing..." photograph in which a DJ daggers is worn with a forest portepee.

Thanks guys, I do appreciate all the nice comments.
Wotan, I'd love to see that photograph if you can dig it out.
Cheers

Gary,
What differentiates them? Maker mark?
And poor little me only has one.

Hi John I collect them because I love them and for no other reason, there are some variances with some of the 1711's, the size of the pommel and ferrel do vary and I know of at least 2 different sizes to take into account the size of the grip, there are also two different maker marks known to date http://phpstack-500133-1583587.cloudwaysapps.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=91898&page=1the pommel nut can also vary in shape all during the period, that's about all I have noticed, I've owned 7 of these and I wish I had kept them all. Never enough of these babies though. Cheers Gary

Gary,
I got it...good thing I collect these things by blade variation.
I guess that there should be an over shoulder mark found one since we do see some of the other Eickhorn models with that mark.
