An Eickhorn etch on a Horster blade? I don't think so.

I would absolutely agree with John that the Eickhorn etch on a Hörster blade is a huge red flag. And, as JOhn says, the etch isn't that good either.

I think the Pack etch may be ok.. but, if it comes from same place as the Holler, I would want to look at the details a lot more carefully.

Thanks for comments,the Pack is ok, as mentioned by german experts, it came from one collection but the source is different, unfortunally the Pack has 7/8mm shortened blade, but the scabbard is ok with origin paint.b.r.Andy
