Ibrahim Ahmad Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Dear all,I intend to purchase this NCO triple etched sword by Carl Eickhorn.The blade is in mint conition and has the words "Gott mit uns" this declaration is surrounded with deluxe oak leafing. The ricasso side of the blade features a panel showing a pile of war implements, featuring crossed cannon in the center. The ending panel features a Prussian style, closed winged eagle over a standard. The reverse of the blade has a raised-out scene of a cannon and caisson being pulled by six horses.This blade is stamped on the reverse ricasso with a small double-ovaled squirrel trademark. The circles has the name, "Carl Eickhorn, Solingen". Inside is a squirrel trademark which has a serrated tail.2 questions to ask:-1) Since there arent any swastica on this sword, does it mean it is imperial and not third reich ??2) Could someone who has the same sword etching by Carl Eickhorn , to please post their pictures to compare ??Any help would be grealy appreciated. Thank You !!Cheers,Ibrahim,Singapore.
Ibrahim Ahmad Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 Hi again everyone,The sword finally arrived !!Here are more pictures.I believe that it was made in 1933-35(Early Third Reich), based on the Carl Eickhorn, Solingen - small double-ovaled squirrel trademark.This one has a serrated tail.Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank You !!Cheers,Ibrahim,Singapore.-----------------------Overall View
