RAD EM Subordinate Dagger by Carl Eickhorn (33021)

Description Model 1934 RAD EM Subordinate by Carl Eickhorn. The blade motto appears to be crisp, and acid etched “Arbeit adelt”.   The reverse is maker marked “RADJ”, “Ges. Gesch.”, and “Carl Eickhorn Solingen”. The blade fits perfectly in the scabbard, has no nicks or chips to the cutting edge, and the tip remains pointed.  The steel based, black enamel scabbard retains 80% paint coverage, has some scratches and flaking, but remains completely dent-free. The nickel-silver plated and black burnished fittings provide wonderful detail throughout the RAD logos and decorative interweaving top patterns with one minor dent on the lower fitting corner. All screws are present. The scabbard and crossguard fit perfectly and close with a snap. The steel based, nickel-silver plated hilt shows surface wear and some plate lifting on the bird’s beak. The stag horn grip plates have no cracks or chips, and they remain tightly secured by two steel screws.
