A feature to look out for on the original FHH pieces, is the blemish which appears on the scabbard - lower section.

It is at the bottom of the stippled panel, where the outline recess recurves upwards to make a pointed arch. On the right side of the panel the recess border line does not meet the conflusion of the upward curve, due to a defect occuring in the die pressing the scabbard body - and the flaw is repeated on both sides.

So don't let anyone tell you that this feature is wrong, or the sign of a faked up piece - it is not! It is an identifiable characteristic noted on the original production pieces.
