Here's a couple of shots of my WKC SA with Sturm Number. Kind of a rare maker, and the blade is in nice shape.

Sweet example! It's interesting how they marked the edge of the scabbard throat. Looks like it required a second set of smaller number punches.

If you look at Slayers example, in another thread, the number stampings to the upper scabbard fitting really did some damage. Maybe the edge of the throat was an attempt to limit the impact to the dagger.

John,
That would make sense, the metal is thin and easy to damage. The one interesting point on my WKC, there are some makers on the side of the upper fitting where it must have been held in a clamp while being stamped.
