The Discussions on the form of the �etched� Huhnlein signature are interesting, and it might well be that a �craftsman� (those quotation marks are �tongue-in-cheek� deliberate) might have presumed he would get a better result if he went over the etched design with some cutting tool.
That might well be the case � when it comes to faking items the forger does not need to use old fashion skills, just something that will give his product a passing resemblance to the �real thing�. However, there is also another curious feature about the Huhnlein signature � and that is the unusually thick vertical line of the letter �H�, compared to the thin vertical line on the same letter. In terms of calligraphic technique this does not make sense!
