Frederick Stevens has just done a hands on with this. Used a proper take down tool to get to top crossguard and grip off, crossguards marked P.A. Herder diamond trademark and number 3 raised on the tang Smile

Blade is 100% correct, Rohm dedication is textbook! Smile

Basically Its unquestionably right, and as good as one could get!.

I knew it was a good one when I bought it and got all the provinence with it etc, but its fantastic to get it rubber stamped like that as well.

Great news and the pride of my collection Eek
