Thanks Reibert. Here one can now clearly see the differences that I highlighted before.

Reibert posted the more "typical" WKC luft,but your WKC is good in my opinion. Yours has the generic style crossguard with the rarer but authentic "surface proud" style leaves on the guard tops. Note that the leaves(pair overlapping) are WKC produced left over right versus right over left used by all other makers. Your pommel is 100% WKC and scabbard too!(your scabbard is the higher priced silvered version too!) Less seen twisted wire versus the usual springy wire but I have seen that before on later WKC's. You are good,breath easy! Kevin.
