A decent piece at a great price! The dark acid etched "Alles fur Deutschland" motto and "RZM M7/10? maker mark with the Traditional Henckels "stickmen" are both crisply executed! The fit is nice and tight and the tip comes to a sharp point! traces of crossgrain remain visible. The blade rates VG. It has darkened and MAY clean brighter, all I've done is wipe of the crap that was on it when it came in from the family. The black undented scabbard has lost most of it's paint. The nickel plated steel based fittings have lots of oxidizing and again I don't clean this stuff. This is how it landed. The ball is perfect retaining its original round shape and all four screws remain intact! The nickel plated zinc based crossguards look good! They do have plating loss / spotting. The brown hardwood grip is chip-free but these is a hairline up from the roundel. It still looks good though. The aluminum eagle is beautifully detailed with a perfect fit. The SA roundel also has a perfect fit and retains 100% of its enamel. Nope not perfect but exactly as it arrived and untouched.
