The etch mimics a period etch but seems shallow & poorly defined. I'm also trying to figure out why someone would drill a hole through the blade. Not something I would want in my
collection, but see how the other guys feel.

The etch purports to be the Klaas Wide Eagle etch with the potted plant bookends.
You can find this etch and configuration in Wayne's book on page 222.
That being said, I agree with Billy... the etch definition and lack of depth make me wonder. The killer for me is the hole drilled in the blade... why do this? and it must have been pretty hard to do since the blade is typically pretty hard steel. I am also not a fan of the rivets.
Too many questions and a heavily marred blade make this a pass for me.

Wonder if that hole is thru the center of gravity?

Certainly a bad etch, mostly the grips are postwar replacement, sometimes similar pieces were mounted on wall with screws, i believe similar piece was post etched to make it more valuable, as it is already damaged in hole of blade. b.r.Andy
