UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Miscellaneous Dagger Forum 2 nd Model RLB Dagger

I've seen a number of RLB daggers with the maker's mark on the obverse & thus covered by the crossguard swaz. My first RLB dagger was a 2nd model EM by Spitzer that had this obverse mark. I was advised against changing it because many of the earlier pieces had grips that were hand fitted that way. Sure enough mine was, the grip wouldn't sit properly if I reversed the blade. Plenty of RLBs have the marks on the reverse too, probably just an individual manufacturer preference.
