Gwar Posted April 22, 2022 Share #4 Posted April 22, 2022 The manufacturers of the DRK Hewer were P.D. Luneschloss and Robert Klaas. Klaas Hewers are identified by the bottom scabbard fitting being attached with screws, while the P.D.L. did not have them in the lower fitting of the scabbard. There are subtile differences in the hilt insignia design and the metal composition of the hilt between Klaas and PDL. Some of the hewers can be identified when the grip plates are removed as the Klaas can have the kissing cranes TM stamped into the blade tang while the PDL can have these initials stamped into the tang, Ges Gesh on the front of the blade is exclusively on PDL style.

waffenleite Posted October 21, 2022 Share #5 Posted October 21, 2022 Gwar is correct. Also, the PDL version has a slightly thinner scabbard metal and tends to dent more easily and the hilt can develop stress cracks in the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
