Very informative and thank you for posting all of these etches, whilst it's obvious that there are similarities I still am convinced that the dagger I have is original, as I mentioned in my original post the maker mark is stamped and it is not etched, it's small enough to fit on the flat of the blade as you would expect of any stamped mark. I believe that each dagger should be examined individually and they should not all be lumped into some convenient group because they exhibit similar traits. I know there are many fake etched blades out there and I've seen many myself, I just do not believe that this is one of them just because it exhibits traits of other so called fake blades.
Please explain to me the position of the mark on my blade, IT's STAMPED, all of the other Krebs blades I have seen the mark is placed much higher. I certainly do not believe that all so called "Gonzo" eagles are fakes, it's so easy to dismiss genuine pieces because they are all lumped together as fakes.
