German Ordnance Officer Sword by Carl Eickhorn
$375.00
The sword has an overall length in the scabbard of approximately 38 inches, with a blade length of approximately 31-1/2 inches. Beneath the langet is the squirrel trademark of the Carl Eickhorn firm. The top of the blade retains the leather washer. The blade shows spots and darker areas as well as a film of surface grime, but the blade is without nicks, chips or rust. The celluloid grip has a crack on the underside of the pommel but it is intact and it retains the twisted wire wrapping. The guard, backstrap and pommel all show a dark and uncleaned patina. The underside of the guard is marked “C.E./G.” with a waffen amt on one side, while the opposite side has the number “3962” as well as a waffen amt mark. The scabbard is dark, with wear to the finish.
