This is an original German WWII Army dagger with the Eickhorn-Solingen logo and an orange celluloid handle. It has the number 34920180 on both the cross guard and the scabbard. Overall Very Good to Very Good+, with the original hanger.
The German Army began issuing daggers to its officers in 1935, for occasions that didn’t call for a formal sword. Carl Eickhorn of Solingen, founded in 1865, was one of the most respected German blade makers, and its seated squirrel trademark is well known to collectors.
Fun fact: Many Army dagger grips were made of celluloid that started out a lighter color and slowly turned orange with age and exposure to light. That warm orange tone is why collectors often call them “orange grip” daggers.
