It is the trademark of the manufacturer, E & F Horster, Solingen

Thanks Bob...can you tell what year it was made by this trademark?

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

I have read that the Horster trademark is suspect when done in this style. Have a read of this document:

The link I posted includes this line:

Fakes: Horster etched trademark of a sword and H not in an oval with no written out Horster name on the opposite side of the blade.

When you click on the link, which is to a file, not a website you need to click Open.

Cheers, Ade.
