Hello everybody. We need advice on the originality of the etching of Carl Eichhorn on the Zieten saber, the type of etching according to the catalog #3239.
sorry for the rotation of the photo, I displayed it on the computer normally, but when I uploaded it to the site, everything was distorted
photo etching from the book (unfortunately, the photo is not of very good quality)
Impressive sabre ..I believe one of the harder ones to find due to a low production.
Wait for the Swordsmen to chime in on the etch.
I merged both threads together
@ Willmore..thankyou for the heads up
Regards Larry

Not an etching I've seen before. Generally well executed with some weakness in the central section with the two closed wing eagles that appear positioned slightly overlapping the bottom border. These designs would have had a central section that could be customized for different motifs and a second etched template used. So not perfect, but maybe passed on the day.
I like it, beautiful sword
Another example of this etching at one of the auctions in Germany. This has already been discussed in another forum. For me it is a very well made copy - probably somewhere in the east.
And here is a piece from Wittmann webSite: Wittmann Militaria #37855C NCO Nickel Hilt Cavalry Sword by Carl Eickhorn
Sorry, I don't care for the etch. I've owned several with this #3239 etch, and this one is just too sloppy on the edges. JMIO.
