Marc,
Thank you for your courteous welcome to the forum and your input on the dagger. Here are a couple different photos of the distance of the logo from the guard. It measures 9/16" from the guard to the bottom of the logo and roughly 1/4" from the top of the logo to the inscription. Wittman has a couple examples on his site with the high placed logos, but they are both ground examples so I cant tell how close they were to the inscription. Just for reference the inscription starts 2 3/4" from the blade point on the example posted. I appreciate the input and this dagger came in a lot buy and I assumed upon purchase that it was guilty until proven innocent.
Thanks,
Mike
