Wehrmacht Army (Heer) officer’s saber featuring a Damascus steel blade and luxurious gilt hilt. The pommel is executed in the form of a lion’s head with finely detailed mane, while the knuckle bow guard terminates in a smaller lion’s head. The grip is fashioned from black material with silver-tone wire wrap. The guard’s languet bears a relief depicting crossed swords with oak leaves. The blade is single-edged, slightly curved, forged from multi-layered Damascus steel displaying the characteristic wavy pattern. The blade features an etched Gothic script inscription reading ‘Original Eickhorn Blanke Waffen’ and the manufacturer’s trademark — a running squirrel with the legend ‘Original Eickhorn Solingen’. This particular example was displayed in showcases as an Imperial-era armament specimen. An exceptionally rare example of premium-grade exhibition ceremonial officer’s edged weapon.
