Eickhorn Dagger Tag

Product Description: An extremely rare, completely original WWII-era Eickhorn Dagger Tag from Carl Eickhorn of Solingen, presented with its original string intact. The metal device shows only minor paint loss, consistent with age, while the paper insert is missing, as commonly expected with surviving examples. This scarce and authentic tag is a highly desirable addition for collectors seeking to enhance the provenance of their Eickhorn daggers or Third Reich edged weapon collections.

Historical Description: The Eickhorn dagger tag was a small factory-issued retailer tag attached to edged weapons produced by Carl Eickhorn of Solingen, one of the premier manufacturers of Third Reich daggers. Typically made of thin cardboard or heavy paper, these tags often featured the Eickhorn squirrel logo along with the firm’s name and location. They were usually oval or round in shape and printed in black on a white or tan background.

Original tags are highly sought after by collectors, as they add significant provenance and value when found with a matching dagger. Surviving examples are rare, as most were discarded after purchase. Due to their desirability, reproductions exist, so authenticity should be verified by examining printing quality, aging, and paper type.
