It may also appear on some SA's, but to this date it is an unknown forge. Can we see the rest of your dagger?

My concern is the blade. Is it original? Is the interior space of the cross guard supposed to be marked? Teno2_004_(Large).JPG (75.35 KB, 247 downloads)

I think the blade is original based upon the tang marking. I see nothing else in your photos to indicate otherwise. What is it that makes you concerned?

In my practise the interior of M36 type2 CGs usually marked P.A. Based on examing 6-7 examples. Have anyone noticed the motto is a little bit off-centered? Notice the 1st "e" in Meine and the last "e" in True... But anyway I like it.

One screw center fitting for the early painted units. The paint looks original and much laquer left. This is one of the most desirable variations of the chained ss pieces. The only problem I can see is that it is not at my home with its buddies.

Even if it runs up or down the blade a bit it is no big deal. The templates were hand applied. It is not uncommon to see a motto that is not exactly on center. Some originals are really skewed. Nonetheless, they are still original.
