A member on WA had posted this piece.

She clearly began her life as an Eickhorn Blucher and was resucitated as a Klucher. The langet/crossguard/D-guard assembly belongs to a Klaas 237. Aside from the obvious, check out the celluloid grip. It appears to be chipped near the retention pins, as if muscled in and broken from improper fit. Scabbard repaint, hilt appears to have some gold spray paint, grip wire issues (other 2 double strands probably removed when the hilt was dissassembled). This piece is problem after problem, but enough to fool an uninitiated collector.

This is the first intact parts piece i've seen like this one. Additional photos available from the original poster thread at WA.

Absolutly one to stay away from. Way too many problems to explain away on this one.

Oh yea. Absolute garbage. Problem after problem. However, it WILL sell. That's to be sure of. Seeing these is actually a rarity. Putting these parts sabers together is not the easiest thing to do in a convincing way. There will always be giveaways, but surely will be enough to fool a non-sword or non-edged weapons collector.
