Len,

Very nice piece, never seen this particular distributors mark before. The story I've heard for unmarked pieces being seconds pertained to blades that were completely unmarked. Most distributor marked blades are not dual marked by the manufacturer so I can only presume that's the way the distributors bought them but anything's possible. This particular hilt looks like an Eickhorn product. Thanks for showing it.
