hi dons - seen my interesting tho slightly tortured thread on waf? has new pix now of nickel eagle, tang mark, billet clamp etc. check it out.

now, how do I know if guards are what wittmann calls 'solid nickel' or thin-plated like a late rzm sa? and why would that be a deal-killer?

one small triumph: I lately found the under lug scabb number: a colleague tho uncertain re the dagg says the b'muller scabb is real. I like that in a scabbard... ;---)
