Affluent family in Murfreesboro, TN
Dear Matthew,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few better images. There should be a hallmark at the end of the blade short before the handle.
With kind regards,
Georg
Dear Matthew,
Thank you for the additional images and your patience. The presented object officer’s dagger by Carl Eickhorn of Solingen (Dienstdolch Kriegsmarine). This dagger has a nickel-plated magnetic steel blade, a brass handle, and a celluloid grip. Sadly the hallmark of Eickhorn, a squirrel, is not clearly visible to date this dagger. It was first produced in the year 1938 and many different knifemakers delivered blades and compartments so that we have many different daggers which were used in the German Navy.
This piece is in medium condition but there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 400 to 800 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
