TeNo (Technische Nothilfe) Daggers

TeNo Edged Weapons – Leader’s Dagger & Hauer (M1938)

The Technische Nothilfe (TeNo) fielded two primary sidearms: the TeNo Leader’s Dagger and the TeNo Hauer for NCOs and ranks. Originals are distinguished by orange grips (often Trolon), clean blade geometry without motto etchings, and high-quality nickel or silvered mounts bearing the cogwheel-with-sword TeNo emblem. Scabbards are typically finished in black with period fittings; matched assembly/unit numbers on dagger and scabbard are common.
