WW1 German Eickhorn Sword help

[Obal7]

Hi, as stated in my previous WW1 sword post, I recently acquired 2 WW1 swords (I will list them on separate posts).
This sword appears to be a WW1 German Carl Eickhorn Dress Sword. It has the Carl Eickhorn stamp on the blade. The blade is 33 1/2-34" long.
I cannot find any other visible markings or stamps on the handle or anyplace else. Is this common? Is this an original WW1 era sword? If I am not mistaken, these were also used into WW2?
any info or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It's a nice Eickhorn sword but not WW1. From the Eickhorn trade mark we know it was made between 1935-41. And a private purchase sword.

Thanks Anderson. I assume that this private purchase style sword could most likely be carried by a soldier during this period?

I believe that is a NCO sword from WWII. Gary

If I can ask? How would you tell it is a “Private Purchase”? What characteristic or lack of?
Thanks for your post.

For parade and "dress" occasions. There is no Nazi eagle on this sword, but that would not have prevented it being used.
Some swords were issued by the regiment, but those would have an accountability number. Most in the Third Reich era were privately purchased.

Very interesting and a beautiful sword. I am often surprised at the prices that seem quite reasonable. Always thought they were more rare than daggers and would command a much higher selling price. Thanks for sharing and always great to view these blades.
