Model 1938 - Technische Nothilfe (TeNo) Hauer für Mannschaften und Unterführer by Carl Eickhorn of Solingen. The fullered matte finished blade on this one has been sharpened and there are scuffs and scratches. The Teno Eagle emblem, “Ges. Gesch.” and seated squirrel holding a broad sword “Original Eickhorn Solingen” maker mark are dark, crisp and beautifully executed! Opposite to the maker mark, under the guard, it is etched “5583”-correctly matching the scabbard throat. The tip and fit are both perfect. The blade rates a Exc. It shows some age grey. The original thick black leather buffer pad remains intact. The dent-free steel based black enamel painted scabbard body looks wonderful. It remains completely dent free and retains 98% of its original lacquered black enamel paint. The steel based plated fittings also look excellent with 99% of the finish intact. All four screws remain intact and unturned. The zinc-alloy based silver plated hilt looks great with some plating loss I have taken pains to show you. The burnishing to the Paul Casberg-designed TeNo eagle and cog wheel really makes the details pop right out at you. The thick celluloid grip plates remain completely crack and chip free! They are well fit and tightly secured with two proper screws. This one comes complete with a Assmann marked hanger with the only damage being a ripped off grip strap.
