A German Second World War Teno Man’s Hewer
An excellent blade with both the Teno eagle and swastika insignia and the Eickhorn insignia both in matt grey illuminated against the brightness of the blade. Original leather washer still fitted between the blade and the one-piece cast grip. The blade is numbered underneath the eagle and swastika ‘8860’ which matches identically with the number stamped on the upper throat of the scabbard. The grips are perfect, no cracks or mistreatment. Some residue of the original factory applied black patination in the lower field behind the eagle and swastika and on the edges of the cogwheel insignia on the upper pommel. The scabbard fittings excellent with good bright nickel plating, some minor chips and thinness to the paint of the scabbard but undoubtedly original to the scabbard, excellent condition £1,600-£2,000
