Hello. There is a dedicated area for German Militaria. Under FORUMS scroll past all the k98k forums, next will be related... and you will see WW2 German Militaria, endless info there. As for the RAD Hewer i would walk away. There appears to be ghosting around the letters, more so on the word adelt. There also seems no aging to the black background compared to the blade. Also the RAD triangle and Ges. Gesch. is missing under the makers logo. Wittman militaria has some with good pictures. Do not know about the item in question getting cheaper but going prices seem to run from 800 to1200$+. I am sure other members will have input and will correct me if i am wrong. best wishes
