As we have seen, not only does Fred's "smoking gun" of the NSDAP lettering not bear close scrutiny when you begin to look at other period artifacts, but neither does his second "smoking gun" that all things out of Solingen must be superbly executed. Here's another sword which I personally obtained from the son of the deceased veteran. Note the "slop" here too! I maintain that on this point, all things I have posted ARE superbly executed . . . given that we are dealing with swords and not faberge eggs.
