Hey guys:

We have all seen the 35-41 seated squirrel TM used by Eickhorn. The variations that we see on Lufts and Heers are stamped and etched versions as well as the small squirrel version.

I was looking at the Navy daggers and assuming that only the one stamped version could be found.

Here is one that has very different characteristics on the tail of the squirrel. I am told that this was a version used by Eickhorn in the latter part of 40-41 just before they switched to the over shoulder TM.

Here are pictures of the trademarks, the first is the new one without the shading inside the tail, the second is the one with shading traditionally found when we think of these seated squirrel marks.

Also, here is the dagger just in from Tom Wittman.

First, pics of the dagger.
