Thanks much for the information Zozza. The seller tells me that along with the number 1232 there are also the initials "WT" in script type lettering on the tang nut as well. He says the engraving appears period. Have you ever heard of the SS number (and initials) engraved on the tang nut?

I haven't seen the dagger as of yet. I will go look at it next week and post photos before I buy it.
