CARL EICKHORN
BAYONET INVENTORY

Short - Single Etched - Infantry Depiction

Short – Single Etch – Luftwaffe Gulls Pattern

This short variety produced by Carl Eickhorn having the 1935 – 1941 trademark has the hard to find Luftwaffe Gulls Pattern.  This pattern features two Gulls flying away from the viewer within a wreath of acorns and oak leaves at the tip end, the Remembrance Motto in a ribbon centered and a closed winged National Eagle closest to the ricasso.  See Pictures.

The condition of this example is certainly NMINT or MINT as there is no wear to the blade or hilt areas.  All the plating is present and no runner marks can be seen.  See pictures.
As stated in The Addendum it is my opinion that this Luftwaffe Gulls pattern (among others) were being produced in advance of a newer catalog perhaps 1940. There were very few of the Luftwaffe Gulls pattern produced and perhaps only a limited quantity sold within the Carl Eickhorn Company accounting for their rarity among collectors today.
This is a beautiful etched dress bayonet with a very hard to find Luftwaffe pattern missing from most collections.
