Nowt wrong with this piece, typical Eickhorn post 41 item, lightweight fittings which are losing the gilt finish, scabbard fittings should be magnetic, I wouldn't worry too much regarding the gap, I've seen this before,the stag grips have aged nicely, nice golden accents where they were cut to fit the hilt, acorns are correct, stamped mark on blade,smooth backgroud to the clamshell, correct number of antlers on lower fitting, everything seems right to me. Nice blade but very typically the finish is wearing on the fittings.
