S.A. Presentation blade engraving

[Steve Flanagan]

This blade is in a local estate being appraised. Usual minefield of good and bad, someone took advantage of the deceased collector. Opinions on this one please, Dedication with a "signature" engraved at end. Im not liking it but would like confirmation one way or the other please!

Uh, copy of the fake This dedication is shown at p.210 of F.Stephens "Reproduction?Recognition!" book. The only difference is it comes with questionable Eickhorn logo.

From what I am seeing with the images posted, it does not look like engraving as much as it does etching. My sense of it also being that it was done in multiple stages, another sign of a postwar fake. FP
