The base features of the Chained NSKK High Leader are identical to all Honor daggers produced by Eickhorn during the period with the exception that the reverse of the blade exhibits a stylized signature of Hunlein, the NSKK Korpsfuher. A unique feature of this pattern is the two styles of chains. The nickel chain is basically identical to that found on the model 36 and the 800 silver differs in that the upper connecting device is void of a clip. Instead the silver example is produced to accommodate the short leather hanger typically encountered on the 33 pattern political daggers. The center scabbard band on both is nickel. A few examples have had the upper device on silver chains period modified to incorporate an upper clip similar to the nickel example. Of the modified examples examined no two are alike.
