Clemen & Jung often double marked their blades. By any chance, is there a "Z" on the obverse?

I don't believe so , just been sent quite a few pics of the blade and i cant see one , i know what you mean though the clemen Z with dots was an early mark and then a shield etc but this is just the plain "clemen and jung solingen" mark . i will have a closer look through the pics and see if i missed something , Will.

Will, This dagger is fitted like you would expect an early C&J to be with their unique hand enhanced chest on the bird! These early Pack generic fittings date this one in the first year or two of production, (37-38). The only non typical feature on this piece is the grip wire. C&J had a unique very fine wire that was triple wound in a very "busy looking" way only used by them. So not sure how it ended up with this course double strand.. if I were you I would look very closely for the Z shield on the opposite side of the blade from the maker name hidden way up under the swaz.. be surprised if its not there! Best, Kevin.
It's ALL in the DETAILS!!.......

@JonesCollectable, the "cross in a quadrat" is the makermark of the drop forger who did produce the blade. Another one which comes to my mind is the prominent "CAH" (interlaced), when I remember right stands for the drop forge of Carl August Hartkopf, which can be found often on EICKHORN marked blades (as Hartkopf has been a relative of the Eickhorn family). The "cross in the quadrat" can be found on blades of several different makers, one of them is also HÖLLER. Regards,
