Has anyone seen the maker mark oriented this direction on a 188/35 dagger? Maybe the 121/34 maker was filling in one day at the 188 factory?

I have seen one and once owned one.Alot of people think they are fake but I think they are absolutely original. Fake daggers don't look like that.If some people think Helbig SS daggers are original yet think these are fake because of the direction.I'm not going to buy that line of thought.Keep it it's real.

Not only the RZM logo orientation has caught my eye,, but first for me to see a 188/36,, or is this the fake that we are talking about.

The rest of the dagger looks pretty good and so genuine, so I assume it is an original piece. The wrong logo direction may be just a factory fault or some other reason impossible to explain nowadays.
