CARL EICKHORN

Short - Single Etch - Luftwaffe Gulls

Another most difficult etch to find is this Carl Eickhorn pattern depicting two Gulls flying away from the viewer surrounded by a Wreath associated with Carl Eickhorn patterns. See pictures.

Produced for Luftwaffe personal, this design is rated as RARE to find in my Original Volume AND Updated/Revised Volume. I expressed the most commonly held opinion as to why this Gulls Etch is so hard to find, however since that time I have come to another conclusion that differs greatly from the one expressed at the time of publication. This possibility along with more "common sense" reasons can be found in my second Volume The Addendum.

The condition of this example is absolutely MINT. All plating is on the Blade and Hilt and the background frosting in the etch is perfect, looks brand new. There is even a yellow felt in the rifle slot, unusual for Eickhorn, but looks like it's always been there. Any collector would be pleased to have such a rare, hard to find example in their collection.
