I have seen three etch patterns on Eichorn SAs.

The standard 'Alles fur Deutschtland' with the 'A' looking like a 'U'.

The so-called small A version of the above, where the 'A' looks like an 'A'

An etch 'Deutschalnd uber Alles'

The last two are early etches. My guess would be that these would be among the first SAs produced.

Here is a shot of the second etch.

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.
