many thanks Dave!

How rare is this logo? In regards of this city I would say they don't really produced the mass of daggers, that's for sure. Mostly supplied the local areas what I assume and possible found with Fr Gau markings as I assume as well.

Correct wes, in that Johann Leupold came first And made weapons for WW1(and probably also used the Leuco MM). Johanniswerk was founded in 1925 and obviously made SAs in mid 30s. Both these companies were later felt to join the Suddeutsche Messerfabrik (who also made early SAs) They are all on the McSARR. Mike
