Beautiful 1935-41 Nazi Officer Sword by Eickhorn in 'Blucher' Pattern

This is a beautiful Nazi Army officer's sword by Eickhorn in the Blücher pattern with a 33" blade. Topping the sword is the magnificent head of a golden lion, with ruby glass eyes and a mane giving way to oak leaves. Below the leaves is a blank oval meant for a monogram engraving. There is also an eagle with a swastika spanning the crossguard. The blade bears the squirrel logo of Eichorn, dating the sword to circa 1935-1941, and the underside of the hilt has a patent mark.
