My favorite Eickhorn! Most are aluminum but yours is brass which maybe what looks odd to you but everything is good including the D.R.P. stamp. I love it!

This D.R.P. made me suspicious ;-)

You will often see “Ges Gesch” or “D.R.P.” (Deutsch Reich Patent) markings on the bottom of Eickhorn Field Marshall series swords hilts. All it means is that Eickhorn has a patent or has applied for one on the sword design. As it is with a lot of German abbreviations the “D.R.P.” stamp can be confusing. It is not common but you occasionally see a bayonet stamped “DRP” which stands for Deutsches Reichs Postschutz the German Postal Protection Service

It looks like a good early (brass hilted) example to me.  Best Regards, Fred
