Silesien, do you know how and where the blades were marked - was it just Rostfrei?
The translation is stainless, double cross saw, metal sheath, Odal rune insert.

Russell, most were marked only "Rostfrei" on the obverse ricasso of the blade; but once in a while I'd see one with a maker. but don't recall the maker markings.

They weren't marked "Germany" or "Made in Germany" because they weren't meant for export.

Reverse. Hard to tell but this scabbard may have 'Germany' stamped just above the front rivet.

Here's another posted with the owners permission. This has a typical postwar scabbard, likely to be made from alloy, has the thick lip at the throat not seen on steel originals and missing the obverse rivet. The hangers on these sometimes have a 'Made in Germany stamp' on the reverse. The paint is often badly chipped off or virtually no longer present like this one. Sometimes, postwar knives like these are paired with original scabbards.

Diamonds are sometimes removed from this type of postwar knife and replaced with an original, usually carefully glued in. There doesn't appear to be any seam lines present on the inner side of the fingerguard, or running up between the grip plates, which are often seen on fakes.

The maker mark is postwar, not a Third Reich era maker.
