Thanks for the reply Ed. Willy must have been especially good in 1933 to get so high up on Santa's list.

This sword is shown in the WKC catalog as their "[b]Nr.3 Glatter Offizier-Einheitz-Sabe[/b]l", or polished finish officer sword.

Here are some other pictures of the blade etching. Hard to capture good photos of blade etching like this.
