I just purchased the dagger. I noticed right away it wasn't the typical Eickhorn cross guard so I asked some of those more knowledgeable in the hobby. The consensus is this is a type 1 cross guard with hand enhancing probably by an individual factory worker before the standardization of the cross guards. 'The firm also used many earlier parts coupled with later blades, hilt fittings etc as I am sure you are aware'. I must say because it is a rare period anomaly, its already a favorite of mine!!
