With the better overall color values of these images what really caught my eye was the condition of the interior of the H�hnlein signature. I wonder what kind of a story the signature could tell?? To have survived as well as it seems to have done, especially with a blade which has been so abused. It�s really pretty amazing when you think about it, with no discernible rust, and a nice relatively even grayish coloring inside the lettering.
Unfortunately, however, the image is not of a high enough resolution to really see if they is any Damascus �grain� inside the lettering still present or not. To resolve that issue some better images of the dagger would be needed to cross compare the signature with the logo.
