Description
Here is your chance to pick up a fantastic example of a TeNo hewer. Marked Ges. Gesch. on the blade and maker marked for Carl Eickhorn. The scabbard has minimal paint loss from age. Blade is in pristine condition with lots of cross grain remaining. Complete with the original frog. Clip on the frog is Assmann marked. Matching number 1438 on the scabbard throat and front side of the blade behind the eagle cross guard. 8 is stamped upside down on both which is a known trait for Eickhorn pieces. Just wonderful overall for a nice example of an attractive blade that would be hard to upgrade. Click HERE to view more images of this item! Technische Nothilfe (TeNo) was a German volunteer emergency response unit. During the period it became in charge of technical civil defence. From 1936, TeNo was gradually absorbed into Ordnungspolizei as an auxiliary police organization and it came under the ultimate control of Heinrich Himmler, as the head of the police, and ultimately the SS. From June 1, 1943, the TN members, serving outside of the Reich, wore the green uniform of the Police and were referred to as the TN-Police. In addition to working within Germany, the TN was active in Nazi-occupied countries from September 1, 1939 as Einsatzgruppen, which followed the Wehrmacht and restored vital services and functions in Poland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Norway.
