I've studied in hands some Diplo/GO daggers before starting to buy them for my collection.
Eick has some differences against Alcoso. As I can see here all parts of this dagger are typically Alcoso. Except the ferrule. I have never seen this before, but I had in hands some Diplo/GO Alcoso daggers and notice that their original scabbards have Eick's style bands. So it makes me think that they did change parts during the period or both of them used parts from third-party manufacturers.

Hope it will help.
