Called the “Feldherrn Serie” (Commander Series) by Eickhorn, these swords are generally referred to by collectors as the “Field Marshall” series, though only 4 of the 9 actually held that rank. One of the rarest and most sought after is called the “Prinz Eugen” model after Prince Eugene of Savoy. One example was the 7th SS “Prinz Eugen” Division, an elite unit of mountain troops “Gebirgsjager”. The sword is just as it was when first taken as a war trophy, retaining about 80%+ of the original gilding on the hilt. The blade is bright and clean and features the clear squirrel and sword maker’s mark of Eickhorn. Original, black-painted scabbard with single carry ring showing minor scuffs from typical parade use.
