Carl Eickhorn Army Sword

G'day Guys

I haven't seen too many swords in this category!

Anybody have examples to show of the Carl Eickhorn Field Marshal series, I believe this is a "Zieten" no.1734?

Is this a genuine one and if so, is it a common model?

Thanks in advance

René

Hi René, I cannot advise on the model, as I don't have any sword references, but it is 100% original.

Values over here start at about £350.

Cheers, Ade.

Believe it or not, of the many+ heer sabers I own, I actually do not own the 1734.

As was mentioned, the piece is a zeiten, nr 1734 in the eickhorn field marshall series. typically, this pattern is hilted in aluminum. With respect to yours, I cannot tell. I own the 1st gen dovehead coumterpart, the 1735 derff in brass..early example of the pattern.

Scarcity? Not scarce but not overly common either. Can you take a pic under indirect natural sunlight? False lighting can be misleading.
