That's good info Orpo I saw a bright finished 98 05 marked on the blade RLM I think in a shop over here in Missouri I almost bought it at the price $125.00 but it didn't have a scabbard I think they are getting hard to find I rarely see them and come to think of hardely ever much in the past. Didn't know what it meant back then but with good reference like your book, and internet things have changed. Thanks timothy
