I don't really like the looks of the etching on this axe.
While I am not very knowledgeable about these fire axes, I think the etch is shallow and cartoonish.
Here are a few shots of mine for comparison.

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.

It's tough to tell from pictures however the first axe looks to be hand engraved as you can see a few slips on the edges. Yours John on the other hand looks more like a true etch. For lack of better word the etch will make it look a "relief carving".
