I'm not comfortable with the panzer etch.

Eickhorn etches are usually very crisp. This one seems to be shallow and somewhat 'soft'. Some of the finer details do not match up with the examples shown in Wayne's book. Specifically the eagle's wing tips, the tank details, some of the oakleaf and laurel leaf veins, and the break or shift in the stencil above the ribbon by the words 'an meine'.

I would be very interested in hearing Wayne's comments on this piece.

JMO and very curious.
