Typical RZM plated fittings to the grip mounts and the scabbard mounts. Double edged blade with motto ‘Meine Ehre heist Treue’, reverse with Carl Eickhorn trademark and RZM ‘941/38’ and SS runes. The blade measures 22cms, overall 38cms. Some wear to the exterior fittings which is typical of RZM pieces. Cracks to the lower and upper mounts.
