Dark Motto, crossgraining, mirror like - see my reflection
Supposedly the Heller Brothers was the only SA maker to stamp their name on the blade. I think Heller stamped their name on unmarked blades purchased from other makers to fill a contract because they could not make enough of their own blades which had an anchor inside a circle as their logo. This looks like a contract filler blade because it was slightly too thick to fit the crossguard. The company benchman slightly enlarged the opening and then applied a little bit of hard black filler material to seal it shut. this is the Gebruder Heller logo |
