I would like to make a correction: the above Carl Eickhorn maker's mark and the mark on my Carl Eickhorn Nr. 1456 is not maker's mark # 39 from Carter's book but is closer to maker's mark # 36, found on the May 1931 export catalogs, sometimes referred to as the triple-oval.

I have found an image of a Carl Eickhorn double oval maker's mark # 39 on the BCN Bayonet forum on page 1, under the thread "Eickhorn Etched Bayonets" posted on 01/18/2014 by JohnZ. This # 39 Eickhorn mark is found on an etched bayonet blade dated 1935.

Another version is the Carl Eickhorn double oval maker's mark # 45 with a larger and heavier squirrel with smaller ears dating to about 1934-1935. Note that these marks have an X instead of the Stars.
