With the pin types besides protruding away from the body of the scabbard, with many of them they are misaligned, sometimes by quite a bit. With some others glued, although it�s had to say without an X-Ray if they were made that way, or were repairs for broken off emblems. With the example here showing the way the emblems were installed by drilling through into the interior damaging it. With this being the only �RZM� marked one that I�ve seen, with the (supposedly period) �RZM� marking using an inverted stamp with no identifiers, just the inverted �RZM�. BTW: A well known dealer who at the time he was selling them (the �BDM� no emblem type), said that those in a batch he had acquired (in as new condition) were wrapped in a piece of plain brown paper with a string tied around the knife. No bags. Regards, Fred
