Chained NSKK Navy dagger by Eickhorn

An extremely good condition chained NSKK dagger with gold gilding meant for the NSKK Navy motorboat troops. This dagger is a late Eickhorn production dating 1940 with zinc crossguards and a steel original black painted scabbard. The steel chain is marked with the Assmann RZM code M5/8 and “Musterschut NSKK Korpsführun”. Eickhorn chaines NSKK daggers dating from this period are mostly seen with this chain. The brown wooden grip has a nicely inlayed copper eagle and nickel silver SA roundel. All metal pieces on the dagger still have most of the gold gilding. The very nice Eickhorn RZM blade has stayed in really nice untouched condition inside the scabbard with just some very light black corrosion marks. The crossgrain is still very present on the front and back of the blade. This dagger is one of the best condition Navy NSKK daggers I have come across.
