TeNo Enlisted Man's Hewer – P.D. Lüneschloss Solingen – Matching Numbers

A remarkable example of the TeNo (Technische Nothilfe) subordinate hewer, issued to non-commissioned officers and enlisted ranks.
The heavy, broad steel blade remains in excellent condition, retaining its original factory polish and cross-graining.
The obverse ricasso features the rare manufacturer mark of P.D. LÜNESCHLOSS SOLINGEN, a highly sought-after maker for this specific model.
Beneath the maker's mark is the official TeNo eagle emblem clutching a cogwheel with TN initials, accompanied by the "GES. GESCH." patent marking.
This piece boasts matching serial numbers (1141), prominently stamped on both the blade's ricasso and the scabbard throat, ensuring a factory-original set.
The hilt fittings, including the stylized eagle-head pommel and the unique S-shaped crossguard, exhibit a well-preserved original finish and patina.
The off-white celluloid grip plates are in great condition, securely attached and adding to the dagger's imposing aesthetic.
The TeNo organization was vital for maintaining technical infrastructure, making their service daggers a unique part of history.
Manufactured in Solingen, this hewer represents the pinnacle of German blade production from one of the city's most respected firms.
