Hello all, Im somewhat new to collecting and I recently came across this SA Carl Eickhorn dagger. From my research (may be wrong) the dagger itself is pre ww2 with nickel-silver hardware. The dagger has nnh on the crossguard with a 2 stamp on top below the blade, the roundel is dark. The scabbard is a brown/brick type color which looks different from most of the ones Ive seen, Im not sure if this a match, altered, I believe its anodized/lacquer but honestly not sure. The fit is very snug and requires two hand to draw the dagger out, the ball and scabbard fittings have none/low magnetic properties with the body of the scabbard being magnetic. Condition is good but obviously has imperfections and a small hairline crack on the handle. The pommel nut also looks untouched and fitting looks good. Any and all information would very much be appreciated and if anyone would know its approximate value that would be as well. Thank You. (Pictures below)

Nice early Eickhorn SA dagger. The "2" is a bench number and the code is "Nrh" for Gau Niederrhein. The scabbard has been repainted.

Very Nice untouched example and a rarely seen number 2 benchmark.
