Thanks to redbaron for the photos.As I said the motto has thinner lettering (1.2mm),but the etching seems neat enough for an early M36.Even though I borrowed a better camera I could not seem to get a photo that shows the cross grain,just got a bright shiny blade.Amongst others, I did get one properly showing the owner's engraved name (Erwin Kuther),as shown above.Even though it is on the correct side,I am always suspicious of these inscriptions,as in someone trying to up the value.
