Real as they come. Eickhorn 3220 pattern etch on a long blade is a nice one to have.
Good find as your first one.
I like Eick!

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.

I agree with John that it is a good original Eickhorn example. Your bayonet is also a good example of the fact that the plastic grips do sometime show wear and tear and the rivets are not always pristine. It appears they have been tightened up with a peen mark in the center of the reverse rivets. This certainly looks to be a period adjustment from what I can see in the photographs.

Thanks ORPO and JohnZ for your comments. I feel better as this is my first etched. The rivets were a concern.

Aren't these things just GREAT !! The etches from the different companies are so diverse and done with such precision and quality they are in a field all there own in this hobby. Thank goodness returning soldiers would bring back a few, without them there would be no interest.
