Hello Russ

I'm always glad to see a new member post and one who obviously knows his stuff, as far as the lack of rope design on the eyelets I have been looking in TW's Navy book on Pg 205 where you'll see a similar lack of this design on a scabbard. I agree that the pommel is not the replacement type, personally I do not have a problem with that as long as it is an Eickhorn product, as far as the cross guard goes this piece certainly has a large centre block as in my experience you would expect on an Eickhorn guard from this period. As far as the girth of the rings is concerned I think it may be the photo's as they seem the same as my other Eickhorns.

Thanks and I do appreciate your thoughts.
Gary
