Decree January 7, 1886 and several other silver marks some earlier. But several nice images and it also has link to click on for the Decree. I'm such a newbie at the markings but really the quality does stand out in most photos shown in those pages. I know that the big collectors and 99% of all collectos think this is all ok but I cant be counted in them. just too many questions and red flags and thats the bottom line on how I collect. I guess those who own these or wish to puchase just be happy with them, 'bout all I can say. I own a H/J long bayonet purchased out of the woods for 95 bucks no body made "big" money on it and the diamond is correct and placed nice but that does not make it real just something I enjoy.
