The metal hilt features an asymmetrical crossguard that extends only a little way above the grip at the top and tapers towards a scroll finial at the bottom and is marked underneath on the blade with the serial number "1161", which matches the scabbard. The white grips are secured to the tang by two screws, and the pommel is shaped like an eagle's head and features a raised cog-shaped motif, coated in nickel with slight flaking. The metal scabbard is painted black with a magnetic metal shaft marked "1161" with a metal throat and tip, which has slight rust spots which can be easily cleaned. The TENO Hewer comes complete with a leather hanger, with an aluminum snap clip which has the maker's marked logo "A" on the reverse for Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid. The buttonhole that secures the handle is torn, complete with the original portepee for a TENO Technical service NCO. Overall the TENO Hewer and Scabbard are in good condition and would make a great display for any collection.
