Thanks guys,
This is fascinating. I'm glad to find out that it was made by Simson and is scarce.
I'll take another picture of the top edge of the blade with a group of proofs or acceptance marks tomorrow night.
Please explain the cypher to a newbie on the subject.
Also, were the blades sharpened after they were issued? This one isn't, and the whole thing looks almost unused.
