thanks

scabbard paint is original

it compares well to my 807/36

cross guards marke EL

Photos could be better but it looks okay to me, except it's a bit over-cleaned.

theres water damage and pitting which has been cleaned off badly

good bad?

The blade looks a little narrow, may have been sharpened or it could be the angle of the photo. A picture of the tang would help, but the maker mark looks correct, but buffed out. One thing I like is the blade center ridge is fairly flat, which is how this maker tended to finish their blade, polishing down the center ridge. Here's a picture of mine to compare to.

hello john
yes it has been sharpened at the cross guards it is the correct width
how far up the blade does your motto and maker mark start?

Nick, Looks like 14mm to the bottom of the RZM, and 26mm to the start of the motto, if that helps.
