Hello, I've recently saw this piece with etching. Dagger is surely original, but can you tell me someone something about the etching? I have never saw piece like this.
Best, Lukas.

It is A FAKE etching and I mean it for 100%. Some greedy individual ruined a good Haenel, by etching some fantasy, wrong period dedication written with computer font (the name of the font is Schwaben Alt). I'm really sick of all those con artists around the globe.

Ask the seller I'm not super familiar with the technical details of etching process being used by fakers, but as far as I know it's the same known for hundreds of years traditional use of templates and acid. But, no matter what way they (fakers) use, their weak point is always "the design". They just lack of knowledge and original examples at hand (they are NO true collectors), so they steal ideas from reference books or "create" dedications themselves. Unless the faker is german guy, inscriptions are often full of spelling mistakes.
