The correct manufacturer of these pieces is Chromolit-Arthur Wingen. The CH AW stands for this. I have never seen fakes of these pieces or any with plated or blued blades. The blued blade would be a post war alteration IMO. It is not known what these pieces actually are or what the H stands for. Some-but not all have a brass frog stud (painted black) on the scabbard. Many years ago I saw one stamped with the 33 Eickhorn TM. The blades can not be replaced on these pieces as the blade and hilt (except for the grip plates and the crossguard ) are all one piece.
