Steve,
Wow, I sold you that piece? What the hell was I thinking? Seriously, I knew it was going to a good home. Thanks to Terry too for the translation. I figured "FEU" was for Feuerwehr but was drawing a blank on the "LTG". Administration makes sense too.
Denny,
That's a sweet Eick rig, really nothing not to like on such a piece. You can really never go wrong on an Eick that's conditioned like this. I'm with John, I like Eick too
Terry,
I remember that piece, a real stunner. You've got the trifecta there, nice rare distributor, dual marked with a maker & inventory numbered. Really super piece & I dig the numbering on the scabbard throat. Just a great piece, please keep me in mind if you ever lose yours & decide to sell it
Here's my example with the Staehle mark on the obverse ricasso which it seems is a variation of yours. I searched long & hard to find this one & if memory serves paid a bunch for it but I haven't seen one since so there you go.
