Teno Officer's Dagger (Item TENO 1-2; RAD 3-7)

DESCRIPTION: This is one of the rare daggers of the Third Reich. This was often called the Teno senior dagger. Seldom does one show up in the immaculate condition of this one. It also has the almost never found leather hangers with it, all the darkening application that is added at the factory is intact, and the blade is perfect, also. This dagger is from the Technical Emergency Corps (Technische Nothilfe). This organization was formed in 1919 after WWI. It was organized to assist the population during times of crisis or disaster under the National Socialist government. It reorganized the TN as one of the main party formations and the direct control was delegated to the director of the German Police, Heinrich Himmler. In effect, the TN developed into the Engineer Corps of the German Police Force. It was quite active in rescuing and aiding the local population during and after air raids, it assisted in the repair of damages to industrial plants as well as installations. Later in the war field units were organized to operate with the German armed forces in rear areas as well as in occupied (liberated) countries. These TN units were used for demolition work, clearing waterways, and railway, and repairing damage to public utilities in isolated instances. Members of the TN were required to fight as front-line troops. The dagger we present here is marked with the Eickhorn squirrel and it has the Teno eagle that is also etched above the squirrel. The blade is serial marked with 2247 both at the base of the blade and at the lip of the scabbard. Because of the relatively small membership in the Teno, the daggers are considered rare!, particularly those of officers. The officer's dagger was designed solely for ornamental wear and was worn by all officers in the grade of Stabssharführer and above. This is about the finest one we have seen in many years and to find hangers with it is almost unheard of. Don't miss this one!

Teno (Technical Emergency Corps) Subordinate Hewer (Item TENO 1-3)

DESCRIPTION: Here is the enlisted version of the dagger seen above; you will see there an explanation of the N.S. Technical Corps. The hewer was developed with I’m sure the RAD Labor Corps hewer in mind. The fact is that the Teno somewhat resembles it. The Teno subordinate hewers are really just as scarce as the officer’s model and in my estimation one of the most beautifully designed daggers of the Reich. This one is in wonderful, immaculate condition and we haven’t had one this fine in at least twenty-five years. I have searched the web and have come up with a few authentic ones but all seem to have a problem or two. A few have a lot of corrosion especially at the pommel where the gear is depicted and some have serious corrosion problems down the back sides where the grips are held in place. But in general ours is among the very best out there. The firm of Eickhorn in Solingen was the only company producing these particular daggers in the Third Reich and their logo shows clearly on the blade along with the Teno logo just below the crossguard. The ivory-colored white grips are perfect and the scabbard's black color is 98 percent at least. The blade is about perfect with minor scabbard “runner marks.” The crossguard eagle and geared swastika are crisp and beautifully presented. There is the slightest tiny bit of corrosion on the “belly” strap on the grip (minute!). The leather washer between the crossguard and scabbard is intact. The dagger easily achieves a 98-percent rating. Without any exaggeration or circumlocution I can easily say that this dagger is absolutely awesome!

PRICE: $5,980.00
