Photos could be better but it looks okay to me, except it's a bit over-cleaned.

The blade looks a little narrow, may have been sharpened or it could be the angle of the photo. A picture of the tang would help, but the maker mark looks correct, but buffed out. One thing I like is the blade center ridge is fairly flat, which is how this maker tended to finish their blade, polishing down the center ridge. Here's a picture of mine to compare to.

Nick, Looks like 14mm to the bottom of the RZM, and 26mm to the start of the motto, if that helps.

John
