jirka12hj, please donīt be sarcastical. The forum, although imho still the best for edged weapons and rings  , sometimes goes very slow. Sometimes a thread goes down. Sometimes there are no "specialists" looking. Be sure there are a lot of members willing to help - if it is in their range. I am no specialist for these para knives. But what I have heard and seen (yes, I tried to do my homework earlier - but I am not sure if I did pass) the trademark should be clearly an etched one. Those which do look stamped or perhaps cast (the trademark shown on your blade does look like one of them) are postwar fakes. Maybe these blades are cast as the trademark also has certain features of such one, not drop forged. Also the font of the digits does not look period for me. Just my personal point of view and as said I am no expert on para knives. Regards,

Dont like the look of this blade.. to be in such nice shape it shows no cross grain, which these maker marked types had.. MM does look odd and quite deep as Wotan has pointed out. Strange.. Kevin.
It's ALL in the DETAILS!!.......

I did not mean to be sarcastic. But my question here was almost a month and no one answered or write anything. I have tremendous respect for this forum, because I found that local people are very clear and helpful. I'm just surprised that other threads have many answers and for my thread nothing. But I do not take it personally, I am only surprised.
Thank You for Your opinions, guys. Really thank You.

jirka12hj, you are welcome as every other member here. Donīt forget that it has been the time pre MAX where many members temporary cease to attend the forum due to MAX preparations. And those FJ knives are not the case of all collectors of edged weapons. I for myself have only a limited knowledge on them. All together can cause that there is no answer for a certain, even longer, period. Be sure that this has aready happened to me too . Regards,
