This is the last of the 3 HK marks. The logo is in script & I didn't know what to make of it when I received it. But I noticed the dotted circle which was similar to the other HK marks & then I realized the initials were a cursive HK.
The grip plates on this example is lighter in color that the usually seen black bakelite. The grip plates are either a type of plastic or wood & they exhibit holes that look like wormholes. I've seen this same material on other early production pieces & for some reason it doesn't seem to hold up well. The blade is very nice as is the rest of it. This is the 3rd example I've seen of this mark.
I sold Terry Kissinger one of the others, the grip had the afforementioned wormholes. Terry is a nut for condition & knowing this, he still wanted the one I sold him which must tell you something about the rarity of the mark
This mark is on the obverse of a early production short model with magnetic hilt.
