Picture 4: The back of the hanger which conceals the typical Eickhorn "fat lip" of the upper scabbard fitting:
Additional Points:
The tang has the forger stamp of CAH who was Eickhorns father-in -law.
The dagger exhibits signs of very gentle use which is of the type that would be expected of a piece that was only worn infrequently.

I would be glad to take additional pictures if it is deemed necessary. Perhaps others will venture some comments now the the whole dagger is pictured.
