What I can see in the pic it is NOT H�LLER�s crossguard from pg 33 (remarkable differences in breast feathering, region of the feathering towards the claws, peak, eye and head and the swirls of the crossguard ends to name some points) but the generic "B" crossguard from pg 99. all the fittings and the scabbard seem to have the late nickle finish instead early silvering.
additionally I want to mention that recently I have heard of a test done by a collector with a brocken (yellow)grip: He did cut the grip into a lot of discs and did bake them seperately at different temperatures. They came out from deep yellow over dark red to brown all in several shades and even a brilliant black......
