Yes I started that thread prior to buying the dagger and yes Johnny Z does show a luft dagger with the maker mark lower but it is not the same mark and is on a luft, I'm specifically looking for an army dagger with this mark stamped low down. I also am aware that in some cases you can swap a luft and army blade but I do not think thus is the case here. If you look at this specific mark and the position it was placed there specifically because they had to etch the blade.
