WWII German Army Officer’s Prinz Eugen Sword by Carl Eickhorn (Model 1765), c. 1941-1945

Prinz Eugen Model 1765 Sword, crafted by the renowned firm Carl Eickhorn of Solingen, Germany, during the later years of the Third Reich (1941–1945). This sword is part of Eickhorn’s prestigious Field Marshal Series, designed for German Army officers and possibly Waffen-SS personnel.   The sword’s name pays homage to Prince Eugene of Savoy, a legendary 17th–18th-century military commander. As one of the more iconic ceremonial swords of the era, this model remains highly sought after by collectors of WWII militaria.

This sword features a gilded brass hilt adorned with dual eagles and swastikas—one on the langet and another on the pommel. The black celluloid grip is wire-bound, and the blade is typically nickel-plated, measuring approximately 32 inches in length. The overall length of the sword is around 37.5 inches. It is accompanied by a black-finished steel scabbard with a single suspension ring.
