A German Second World War Teno Officer’s Dagger
A magnificent blade by Carl Eickhorn with its Organisation Todt style eagle and swastika with the Eickhorn logo below, both in matt grey, which illuminates against the brightness of the blade, which has all of its cross grain finish remaining. The etched numbers on the blade of ‘3319’ are very faint, however they do match the stamped ‘3319’ on the upper throat of the scabbard. The leather washer fitted between the blade and the cross guard is present. The dagger retains some of its original factory applied black patinated finish around the edges of the imitation lower scabbard mount and the scabbard strap hanging rings, also in the lower field around the Teno style eagle and within the lower field of the cogwheel upper pommel. The grip in orange is completely undamaged, with its original slightly oxidised portapee knot, excellent condition £3,000-£4,000
