Recently added an early slant grip Eick to my collection so thought I would post a group shot of my armies. Enjoy

Very early piece with the double scabbard throat screws (Wittmann). The cross guard is also slightly smaller than later versions of the same variation. Lot more detail to the scabbard band as well. Blade is very nice.

Fitzer,
That piece is a feast for the eyes. Really great looking item & so well conditioned too. If you were only going to have one, that would be it.

Sweet looking group Fitzer! That glass grip really pops in there! That Eick is a really neat one and I love the slant grip with that very interesting "flat" profile to the segments! Best, Kevin.
It's ALL in the DETAILS!!.......
