The double edged blade is in very good condition, the ricasso is nicely maker marked with a sitting squirrel logo and the company's name of 'Carl Eickhorn' from Solingen. The dagger is having a beautiful black diagonally angled ribbed grip with double twisted brass wire winding. The gilt pommel has the form of the Dutch Royal Crown. The gilded crossguard is showing the form of a flying gull.

These daggers were made in a very limited number in the early sixties. Most of these daggers lost their original gilding.
