Probably the hardest thing I have had to photograph, how close do you want to go Terry Smile. I was hoping the experts could tell me if it is etched or stamped, and I appreciate you need to have the thing in hand to make an informed descision, its certainly set well into the plating, with no signs of damage that you would expect to the plating if it was added later. I have sat it alongside an EK to give it some scale, theres no way this is hand etched!
