Fred,

Tell us more about post-war Eickhorn parts. That is a new one to me.

Jim,

Screws appear the same. As for the ball, I'd have to do more checking. My memory says that there are subtle differences in shape, even in early daggers, but I could be wrong.

Also, I think that the scabbard fittings were supplier items for all makers and not in-house pieces.
