If you look in wittmann luft book on page 254-255 their is a same etched blade and also etch with the name. Eagle on the blade looks the same. Looks like this one was order with two options of the etch. Name on one side and eagle on other. When I saw it first I said it is bad but now I am not sure. See what other people say. I am not an expert on etched blades.

I'm with Ed.
This is the Vulture schnoze fake. Usually found with a Hermann Goring dedication by Luneschloss (post-war).
