found this old German Eye at the gun show over the weekend...old shield,good etching,straight line stamp, eyeball on the back of the tang...love the knife but I"m not real familiar with eyes this old. My only concern is that the secondary blade has no markings at all...wondering if it should? Appreciate all feedback! ::tu::

Looks to be a great old Eye.
The stamp on the back side of the tang nails it. ::tu::

Prairiedog,
That's a true beauty!
I like the "chipped" bone look and the condition looks to be super.
Nice find!
