This TeNo Officer's Dagger is in excellent plus condition. The pommel cap has all of the nickel plating intact throughout. This cap has good, crisp edges and features three circles on each side which surround the TeNo symbol of a cogwheel. The crossguard, featuring the TeNo eagle, is in fairly nice condition, having a few lifts in the surfaces. The crossguard eagle still has fine detail throughout. Superimposed over the swastika is the TeNo gearwheel logo, with a T shaped hammer and the letter N combined. The grip is a most attractive, very dark pumpkin orange color, which is just the slightest bit lighter on the reverse. This grip is in perfect condition throughout. The scabbard appears as though there may have been a dent removed above the lower chape fitting, but it is not noticeable; whoever did the work did a fine job. These panels are still crisp throughout. There is also blackening on the decorative lines on the carrying bands, as well as on the details of the lower chape fitting. The throat is the typical thick Eickhorn style, which is retained by a center-placed screw on the reverse. The throat is stamped with the serial number, «0584». This piece is apparently an early example, as it is not etched but stamped with the matching number, «0584». The blade itself is an nice as they come; it is in Mint condition with a needle tip and full cross-grain. The blade is most impressive, as these TeNo's are much long than the standard Army/Luftwaffe style we are used to looking at; these daggers are quite large! The original black washer is in place, showing little to no age.
