Very nice clean blade. "Eickhorn, Solingen" maker marked. Excellent nickel-silver (Neusilber) fittings. Overall an even nice patina. Blue leather finished grip and scabbard. Intact wire wrapping. Pommel and crossguard show a sunwheel swastika (brass) on each side. The pommel ist slightly loose (can no longer be completely fastened). 

The lower fitting of the scabbard has two minor dents as well as a small crack in the leather (around 1 cm). All four screws are present and unopened. Originally attached leather hanger.

Length: 88 cm.

Including the matching Eickhorn fabric hilt cover and cloth bag. "Thiemann" named.

A beautiful set!
