I think we can all agree it's a bayonet not accorded typical E. Pack & Sohne traits. These poor example police etches continue to show up with different makers and hilt types. I know at a show it's a very easy thing to want the bayonet etch to be "real". What one might do is to take a look at a real pre-45 etch Eickhorn, Pack it doesn't matter then compare those beautiful etch designs and detail (with frosted backround) to the police example seen here. The difference is easy to see. But I know it can be difficult....take care
