That is a beautifull SA by Ed W�sthof, Larry, congratulations with its find!

Also, very interesting documentation that you added, thanks!

I have one comment to add: the grip to crossguard fitting looks unusual for an SA by Ed Wusthof, but it could be due to the pictures.

I add a couple of images for your comparasing purposes.

Best regards,

Herman
