Hey guys
I'm waiting for this imperial sword to arrive.
But meanwhile I want you to show you these pictures.
What is your opinion on those ruby eyes?
Regards

These appear to be "teddy bear eyes", a valid period alternative to the more commonly seen faceted eye jewels from, I suppose, only certain manufacturers. Who is the maker?
An uncommon and interesting variation.
Congratulations.

Damascus blade and Guard Star...fantastic!
Cannot make out the individual name but looks like a Berlin Distribution house.

A not particularly common variation of the eyes, in combination with a Damascus blade and Guard Star. Very Nice Score!!!  Best Regards, Fred

Name on blade spine is Gustav Laute Hofwaffen Fabrik Berlin.
The name is associated often with high-end blades.
They evidently had a factory; may have been a producer (?)
Beautiful sword.
Quill back?
