The tang is marked with a raised C.E., there is no Ges Gesch under the clam I can see. The real difference in this early piece compered to the other piece I have is within the pommel nut, this new piece is very rounded compered to the more squat more pointed nut on the later version.
The leather on the scabbard is a little different in texture but basically the same colour, all of the fittings bar the pommel nut are similar as is the grip emblem, the usual large DJ badge seen on early Eickhorns.


Cheers
