German sword maker

I am so much pleased with all this interest.
But i must say i am a bit puzzled now. I heard from another source that the typeface ( font ) used in this inscription is DIN Normschrift, meaning that this writing standard was implemented around 1950, and so this piece can't be older than that. I confess this was a "bucket of cold water" for me

. But, as we say over here, against facts there are no arguments. What would you say about this new evidence, Jim ? Plausible ?
Still ignoring the real name and actual mark, any how ... besides the surprise for hunting swords being so contemporary. I thaught these things ceased existing more than sixty years ago.
Thanks for all your envolvement Jeff.
