CARL EICKHORN

Carl Eickhorn Long – Pommel Etch

This long type (Enlistedman’s) dress bayonet is etched only on the Hilt with Carl Eickhorn’s closed winged Eagle Pommel etch.

Pommel etches have been reproduced after the war and the Pre-45 examples are very difficult to find in the collecting community.  I personally have not seen a Pre-45 Pommel etch in many years until this example.  See pictures.  A chapter in my Revised/Updated Volume concerns Pommel etches and what to look for.  Many advanced collections do not have a real pre-45 Pommel etch included in their collections.

A hard to find etch in Mint condition!
The condition of the bayonet is very respectable, no missing plating and very few light runner marks.
Comes with:  Black Scabbard

Short: Honor - Strength - Freedom Etched Dress Bayonet
J.A. HENKELS Trademarked

Obverse: Honor, Strength, Freedom
Reverse: Trademarked by J.A. Henkels. These etched dress bayonets were awarded to the graduates of the five Student League Schools located throughout Germany.  The Carl Eickhorn Company usually contracted with the schools to supply these awards, however one contract was given to a J.A. Henkels salesman and consequently turned over to Carl Eickhorn to complete the order with the Henkels trademark shown on the reverse.  See Pictures. For more information see my REVISED Volume on page 136. Just finding an Honor, Strength, Freedom by Carl Eickhorn is quite difficult to find in the collecting community, but finding one with a J.A. Henkels trademark should be considered Value Rated as Very Rare.

Condition: Mint Minus, all plating with a very bit of wear on the tip is present and like new.  The tip wear does not interfere with the etching or any other part of the example.  A great conditioned example of a VERY DIFFICULT etched bayonet to find.  The bayonet is featured in the Wittmann & Wayne portion of the SOS 2022 video.

Comes With: Black Scabbard

F.W. HӧLLER

Short - Double Etched Dress Bayonet

This double etched dress bayonet was produced from an order from their Distributor Hans Prem in Amberg. The Distriburor's name is stamped on the reverse while the Holler Trademark is on the obverse. The obverse etch is Nr. ES 104 in Holler's 1938 catalog for all Wehrmacht troops.

The Reverse sites military service in Infer. Regt. 41 - Amberg/Bayer, Ostmark. See pictures. A beautiful Scarce example for sure. This double etched dress bayonet form FW Hӧller is the EXACT example as seen on the cover of my Revised Volume Edition now available. A “free” Edition with the new cover will be sent to the buyer.

Condition:
MINT throughout, no missing plating or "runner marks" to be seen..
Condition: Mint Minus, all plating with a very bit of wear on the tip is present and like new.  The tip wear does not interfere with the etching or any other part of the example.  A great conditioned example of a VERY DIFFICULT etched bayonet to find.  The bayonet is featured in the Wittmann & Wayne portion of the SOS 2022 video.

Long - Single Etch - Holler 3 Scene

Generally the Holler 3 Scene pattern is most often found on the shorter NCO model and double etched examples with Battalion, Regiment or Unit designations.

This "Neutral" etch (for all Wehrmacht personnel) was FW Holler's most profitable image both in single and double etch blades. The etch itself features a Machine Gun Crew ready for action, and Artillery Unit in the field "loading up" and a Panzer cresting a hill. All great action scenes. This particular example is in magnificent Mint condition. All the plating is on the Hilt area and the blade shows no wear at all for almost being 100 years old. The full silver frosted background beings this beautiful etch to "life" Truly should belong in a Presentation Box!. This is another of those dress bayonets that any collector would be proud to display.

Long - Single Etch - Small Closed Eagle

Although this example is not trademarked, the etch most certainly comes from the FW Holler Company.
Holler was the only company to use this arrowhead bookend pattern.

All 5 producing companies had their own patterns. No matter what "experts" tell you, these companies did not lend, copy from. barrow, buy, or otherwise use templates from other producing companies. All had their own and were proud of them.

This particular example has Holler's small closed wing Eagle centered, with the Remembrance Motto split on both sides. See pictures.

While this etch is getting more difficult to find in the collecting community, the condition of this piece would certainly be rated as MINT MINUS.

Only a few age specks are present, however, all of the plating is present on the Hilt and Blade and the etch are beautiful for the collector to enjoy.

E. Pack & Sӧhne

Short - Single Etch - Deco Style Open Winged Eagle

This beautiful open winged Eagle was Pack's "Neutral" image for all Wehrmacht personnel. While many were sold in the 30's and 40's I haven't seen many available in the last 3 or 4 years, indicating that collectors are reluctant to move these etches from their own collections.
this example is in absolutely beautiful Mint condition. Hilt has all plating and the blade shows no wear or runner marks.
if you might want just one etched example for your collection, this is it!
Impossible to upgrade.

Comes with:
Black Scabbard
Black Frog
Certificate of Authenticity from Wayne H. Techet
Price: $2,500+Shipping
Item Number #B-005
P.S.  This example is certainly worthy of a Presentation Box.

G. GRAFRATH

Short - Single Eagle Etch - Pre - 1938

The retail firms of the Gebruder Grafrath were primarily outlets for hunting and pocket knives. they did however offer a limited variety of Third Reich daggers to include HJ Knives, SA daggers and dress bayonets.
We can suggest that these varieties came from Robt. Klaas as the etch on this dress bayonet was ONLY produced by the Klaas firm.
This etch was offered in the Grafrath stores prior to 1938 as determined by the "slant" edge used by Robt. Klaas at that time. After 1938 Robt. Klaas used the "potted plant" bookends as featured in the Revised and Updated Volume on page 209.
This "Neutral" ( for all Wehrmacht personnel) pre-38 pattern is quite hard to find and is not generally found in major collections.
For that matter, any etched bayonet with the G. Grafrath trademark is quite difficult to acquire.
The Condition of this example is absolutely perfect. Hilt has all plating, blade is also in Mint condition. See pictures. A truly collectable and rare example to have.
