100% authentic and not to be confused with the modern Eastern European copies, this is a genuine piece of history. An early war version with the foliate engraved side catches. Purportedly found in a field near a crash side during WW2 by the families deceased ancestor, I can't guarantee this as I have no concrete evidence. Condition report: some wear and marks. Personally I would say that this is in a very good state.
