Thank you for your feedback.

IMHO, the use of Eickhorn crossguards is not a red flag to me, but WKC ones probably would be.

Here is the rear view of the crossguard for my RWP, plus that of my 4 35-41 marked navy daggers, including one with a similar black grip. It looks like the last crossguard on an ivory gripped Navy is a WKC product like the one that Bob shows.

BTW. I surmise that the rarely found black gripped Navy2 is probably due to use of leftover black grips from the RWP when regular grips were not available.

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.
