Sword wh fake or not ?

[MAI1954]

Hello to all

what do you thinks, about this sword.
For you is it right or fake.
The handle is covered with a synthetic material black as with a plastic.
This material is hard and breakable, strange for an original.
Under this material, the handle is made with a wood.
On the blade I can read ANTON but after I can’t see….
I would be very interested in your opinion?

Anton Wingen? As stated the saber is a good one, Thank You for sharing - with the black plastic shell over wood for grips starting late in the Imperial period as a substitute for sharkskin. Something that was continued probably as a matter of lower cost and processing time into the Weimar and TR eras. Best Regards, Fred
