Excellent condition to sword grips, blade, and sheath and portapee, slight ware on hardware from actually wearing the sword. Vet Bringback - see pic. The Solingen swordmaker, Carl Eickhorn, produced a series of swords in the mid to late 1930’s named for famous military commanders from German history. 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. Retains its original leather and silver bullion portapee sword knot just as it was when last worn on parade. An excellent example in untouched wartime condition vet bring-back!
