Interesting sabre, for either Artillery or Infantry officer. Is there a "CE" under the squirrel in the maker mark?
On 2 August 1934, after Hindenburg died, the Reichswehr had swear an oath personally to Hitler. From that date it would be career limiting not to have a sword marked with Nazi insignia.
So the langet work could have been done from 1933- late 1934, but could be both a new purchased sword or a reworked sword.
Excellent photos.

Quite the Handsome Sword Kurt ...its very attracting and equally impressive is the sharkskin " like" material of the grip with perfect grip wire.
The knuckle bow and backstrap are equally appealing.
@ Anderson ...I was comparing the logo from what I can see of it ...the long bunny rabbit ears and also most notable is the plain looking X mark on the right side of the inner double oval to Anthony Carters Reference pg 171 ..logo number 39 ...shows that there is no CE Initials ...but has been recorded between 1933-35
Double oval # 36, 45 and 46 also show these plain stamped X s ...but ony have the short stubby bunny ears.
I would say Kurts example is #39 with no CE initials.
Regards Larry
Out of all the 71 Eickhorn logo variants ....separately 24 logos are oval or double ovals
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

This double oval Logo can be dated 1933-34, so spot on i guess

Nice sword you have!

Kurt have you compared your etch with the etches of the other 2 swords you found of this pattern?
There might be the answer, perhaps a personalisation that have been removed?

Hello Gerrit,
Apparently that is a somewhat classic Weimar era Eickhorn etched pattern .... Both blades have the same part missing.
On the original pattern, drums & trumpets are found at the missing part ....
i'll try to get my hands back on that photo ...
Regards

Or possibly post war assembled with pre-existing blade. The photo should answer some questions.
