    F.W.E. No32. French Point.
    5/8+ inch. just a hair under 11/16th.
    This I have never seen before. I don't think the scales are original, but I might be wrong. I've not seen scales like this, on an FWE before. Anyway, it is the blade that interests me. I've not seen a French Point on an FWE before. Plus, I haven't seen one from Grafrath-Solingen before. The box says No31, but the reverse on the tang is stamped 32.

    Might not be, but I think the scales are era correct.

    If anyone has seen an FWE with original scales like this, please post. If it if correct, I would not wish to alter it.

    I was just needing verification that my FWE has original scales. I have never seen this model FWE before. I have not seen an FWE with those scales either.
