I have two third reich etched dove head swords in my collection and they both are in the Pack catalog, but not this etch.
Did anyone ever seen same etch on sword made by Pack.
I have found partial picture in Angolia sword book, where showing same etch, but on Pack Mining official sword.
You can see same pommel and guard, but mine is with the eagle.
Look on last four pictures.
Thanks

Ivan, I think I understand what you are saying but I�m a little confused. The sword pictured with photo ID: mini-P6170020 shows a stylized M1873 cavalry saber along with what is probably the M1852 which are crossed. Photo ID: mini-P6170023 shows the crossed muzzle loading cannon typical of artillerymen with some sabers in the background one of which is the M1852. All of which are typical for some Imperial era swords/sabers. The hilt/langet of the mining saber in Angolia seems to be just that, as does the just posted Bergbau etching pattern in the Pack catalog. Is it the Imperial style military etching that you are asking about? Best Regards, Fred
