These modified lion head Seitengewehr are very difficult to find. My dove hilt above is also an Osang. Osang made medals during this time period but I suspect they were the assemblers / distributors of these edged weapons. I particularly like your Saxon inspection marking on the blade spine. It is also interesting that one of the armorer numbers on the spine is stamped upside down. I have seen this before.
Alain,
A nice polished steel Eickhorn with the later logo and the large size serial number. I have seen these large numbers into the 100s but none larger than that. Does yours also have the T slot instead of the TO slot?
