Fred, if you had actual experience with these daggers, you'd know that "Huhnlein" is not engraved, but acid etched. If you had experience studying investment casting, you'd know that molten wax, not molten metal, is poured into molds (I too made this error when I first started studying investment casting). My question was simple: are the casting marks on the cartouche-style clip (the type pictured in the Offermann photo), identically placed on all the examples you've seen photos of?
