CARL EICKHORN

Short: Honor - Strength - Freedom Etched Dress Bayonet
J.A. HENKELS Trademarked

Obverse: Honor, Strength, Freedom

Reverse: Trademarked by J.A. Henkels. These etched dress bayonets were awarded to the graduates of the five Student League Schools located throughout Germany.  The Carl Eickhorn Company usually contracted with the schools to supply these awards, however one contract was given to a J.A. Henkels salesman and consequently turned over to Carl Eickhorn to complete the order with the Henkels trademark shown on the reverse.  See Pictures. For more information see my REVISED Volume on page 136. Just finding an Honor, Strength, Freedom by Carl Eickhorn is quite difficult to find in the collecting community, but finding one with a J.A. Henkels trademark should be considered Value Rated as Very Rare.

Condition: Mint Minus, all plating with a very bit of wear on the tip is present and like new.  The tip wear does not interfere with the etching or any other part of the example.  A great conditioned example of a VERY DIFFICULT etched bayonet to find.  The bayonet is featured in the Wittmann & Wayne portion of the SOS 2022 video.

Comes With: Black Scabbard
