Erich makes a good point. Sometimes we go a bit too far with the technical stuff IMO. Craig is 100% right when he says Third Reich items are often imperfect. Many get a bit too concerned with "font" too--Hey they did NOT just use one kind or another but MANY. In the end sometimes it's better to go with your experience and that "gut" feeling you get after a while. In this case my gut feeling tells me the sword is good. I would love to have it and I'm sure a lot of others would too. The original owner seemed to want it back too.
