This pattern, along with the other Pack oval etches, have been reproduced in the Czech Republic several years ago. The new generation of fake etches were not perfect but they were much better than the old, poorly defined etched patterns of the 1960's & 1970's.

I agree with John & Ivan, both of whom know their way around Pack etches. This example does not appear to be period, from the pictures.
