Looks good to me... one of the few etches that does not incorporate a swastika.

One trick at detecting fakes on these kinds of etches is to look inside the blade blood groove or wherever a blade has an edge inside the etch. The etch should be just as deep and just as distinct as on the flat part of the blade.
This is one reason why I ask for closeups of the two bookends to see the definition of the etch in these areas.
