Here is a very rare long triple etched shooting prize by Eickhorn.

What makes this rare, you ask? Well...

1 - It has super stag grips
2 - It has a spine etch
3 - There are two grip emblems for 'The best Shooter' and '1938'
4 - The obverse etch is the rare 3227 Men in Field pattern that is shown in the catalogue both as a sword and as a bayonet pattern. This is the exact one with the eagles at both ends with feet to each other. You can also see this pattern in Wayne's book on pages 88-9.
5 - The reverse etch is a sword pattern etch.
6 - The crossguard and the pommel are hand dimpled to give a rough pattern somewhat like the hammered scabbard effect found on some Kriegsmarine daggers.

Here are some pictures. I found this on Joe Polsinelli's table at the SOS.
