I received this blade from my grandmother and it has C.E. Embossed on the tang underneath the handle, the etchings match, however no makers mark and it is just stamped with Germany, some help would be greatly appreciated. The pictures are to large to attach, the engravings match other Hirschfangers I have seen, and it has the number 227 stamped on the under side of the hand hoove guard piece (the curvy one) sorry I am not to knowledgeable about the topic.
