You certainly do take some of the best photos I've seen.
Lovely dagger.

Thanks Michael. I think getting them in proper lighting is the key and even with an IPhone 10 camera you can get good results. Good therapy as I can hone in and zoom in on these pieces of history. Likely my favorite thing to do. I remember when I got this piece years ago. You see things that you might change as the designer. The tiny leather strap on leather frog that latches across the Hewer is usually broken from the button that secures it. When you first lift it you realize for the piece that was supposed to be used for function it was a design flaw. Leather strap is way too thin for the shear weight of this piece. When the Hewer shifted when wearer moved it popped that leather easily away from the metal tab it slipped over. Almost always broken.

Well not so cold down here, but a few Holiday cocktails are always good. Great looking Hewer. Is the '10002' numbering a serial or a Teno member?

Hey Brother,
Hope you are well down south. Been snowy and chilly here. The serial ‘10002’ as I understand it would have been from the Eickhorn Facility that produced the scabbard and Hewer so a production serial number for issue to the Teno EM. At least that is how I have always I understood it.
I did only a couple times over the years see the back of the frog marked with a number and TN. Wittmann has one on his site with a 114-TN which is likely a unit marking or his member number? I am not sure?

The TN Einsatzgruppen participated in the occupation of the Saar, Austria, Sudetenland, Poland and then in the Western Campaigns of 1940. Their purpose was to secure vital industries, prevent or repair sabotage, rebuild the infrastructure (bridges, power plants, drinking water facilities, wastewater facilities, etc.). TN units were taken into Luftwaffe (air force) service early on and other TN units into Heer service in mid-1941. Also, some TN units served in the Kriegsmarine (Navy), although it is poorly documented. Other TN units, under the control of the TN Headquarters, remained in service until the end of World War II.
You can see the TeNo or TN had its hands in many aspects during the Third Reich. Artifacts from this organization are very well made as the members were required to supply their own uniforms and accessories
