On page 71 of Wayne's great book, you can see a Holler etch dedicated to the Condor Legion. This etch design, by the way, with the addition of a few frills, became the standard Luftwaffe etch, ES103, in their catalogue.
Heavily faked, this is a very hard to find etch in any condition. Lucky for me, I found it on Grant Bias's table and had an army of friends and experts who helped me verify that it is surely the real deal. I learned that this etch should only be on a short blade. The blade tip is a bit rounded, but, heck I buy these things for the etch not the tip of blades.
Here it is,
