I have copied the two etches for comparison. There are several differences between the two. If Curna stamped there TM on the blade after receiving them from Eickhorn factory they would have to plate them, which is possible. There are only two options, either fake or real. If some one is etching these (post war) they would have to be re-plated.

Maybe they were seconds sold by Eickhorn.
