Wotan: Yes, all unmarked Gov daggers I examined did have Alcoso parts. I guess that's the rule.

Lakesidetrader: for sure I share your opinion. Grooves were made by hand. The same as with grooves on Post, DLV, SS M36 chains, etc. I look at them as a point of authenticity, as Solingen manufacturers did them in a slightly different manner.
