Hi Terry,
It has nothing to do with the beautiful apperance of a nice SA or SS blade seeing only with the help of your own two eyes. The ultra rare early SA blade in stunning condition will still have a more crude edge if you blow the letterings this huge like posted by Dave. Only the high quality modern fake -with todays technology's can create such extremely crisp edges. I wouldn't suprise if this blade came out of today's Germany, forged like they did it in the past and maker marked it and applied a logo with the same technique they using for marking common kitchen knives. I'm sure that if I go downstairs to my kitchen, take one of my Herder made potato peeling knives and study that mill-logo with a magnifier, it will be much more crisp then on my old SA daggers.
Regards, Theo
