Mike (aka Byzanti)	I’m seeing what you do, Ron- but I don’t know of any explanation for it myself. It’s almost like the engraver was unable to keep his hand steady at best. I don’t know of any other period explanation other than it was a bad engraving. As to the likelihood of that I haven’t a clue, except to recall various discussions over the years about Gahr master engravers and jewelers being very good at what they did as well as discussions over the SS being exacting in details as well. That of course doesn’t mean that didn’t happen one time or the other; a re-engraving? A later engraving done by an elder jeweler? Or maybe it’s late war and old Wilhelm who is awesome is also dead and plus doesn’t work on Tuesdays, so quality is down. Who knows?
