I believe this to be a modern fake, there is plenty that gives this away, the etch is for a Holler, the fittings are associated with an earlier WK&c product, the scabbard mounts are to plain compared to the rest. There's other things but those are the easy one's to spot, keep your eyes peeled for this one and any others similar that might come into existence in the near future.
This is my opinion only.

It is a good looking fake, Gary.

The kicker for me is the non Eickhorn etch...
