What is the gau stamp?
Yes sir Mr Mike...most lovely..and love the motto font size also. Like a bag of potato chips or fine chocolates..I have a weakness for varied accoutrement types.
can you translate the inscription on the back? Best Regards Larry

What happened with the eagle (denazified)? Otherwise it's a very nice piece with a nice dedication on the back of the blade!
I was just wondering about the wingtips sticking out a bit.....
That is not unusual. A space for the eagle was milled out and two holes drilled for the pongs. Some eagles fit better than others into the space.
