Nothing wrong that I see with your SA.It's the SS helbigs that suck.

Shouldn't the motto be centered on the blade's ridge peak? Perhaps it's the angle or the lighting, or both, but this motto looks like it's way off-center to me.

Placement of the motto would give me pause also . Looks like maybe its been re tipped ?

I think it is perfectly valid, as to the position of the slogan, think that early pieces were something handmade, therefore, for me it is not a problem, just a slight human error.

Maybe made a Monday early ???

This is right as rain- Helbig was funny as about half their mottos were etched very shallowly- maybe the early ones. Then most of the others were etched beautifully like this one (they probably learned to use the proper amount of selenous acid in the etch)-Mike
