Dear Robert, the obverse etch is nothing I have seen before in a Eickhorn etch. Plus the fact it is very lightly done. The pommel etch appears post war, although I haven't held enough to be an expert.

The rivets on the grip are way off and scream of being reworked. As Billy stated the mortise key is beaten up, not a good sign.

I would stay far away from this particular piece unless you want to be the last owner.

Best wishes,

Mat J
