Luftwaffe 1st Model Dagger Blade by Eickhorn, Solingen

This is an original blade for a Luftwaffe 1st Model Dagger, manufactured by Carl Eickhorn of Solingen, one of the premier blade makers of the Third Reich era. The blade features the renowned Eickhorn logo, with the squirrel gripping a sword, along with the word “Original,” symbolizing the authenticity of the piece.

The blade measures approximately 17 1/2 inches and displays the iconic dual-fullered design, characteristic of Luftwaffe daggers of this model. The tang of the blade is threaded, allowing it to be securely fitted into the hilt components. The edges remain intact, though there are signs of wear and minor scuffing consistent with its age.

The Eickhorn logo is etched clearly and remains a focal point of the piece, a testament to the quality craftsmanship of Solingen’s famed blade-making tradition. This blade would make an excellent replacement part for restoring a Luftwaffe 1st Model Dagger or as a standalone collectible showcasing German militaria history.
