This is a long, double etched variety that shows off the most common of the Holler etch patterns.

The iconic Holler etch is the ES104, the 3 scene etch that was made to cover as many services as possible. The etch consists of a pair of soldiers with a machine gun, an anti tank or small artillery gun and crew and the scene of a tank cresting over a hill. This pretty well covers the Wehrmacht, doesn't it? The etch pictured here is the same as on page 176 and has the floral/oak leaf bookends.

The obverse of this blade has the Infantry D201 etch, which consists of a machine gun and crew, an infantryman and a anti tank or small artillery gun and crew. This scene is enclosed by a Wehermacht eagle on both ends along with bookends that look like the ones on the ES102 etch on page 172. You can find pictures of this etch on page 173 and 188.

So, here is my long ES104/D201 etch.
