I have to correct one of the things I said earlier since the comment was from memory. My Pl?macher marks were etched and not stamped. The details were fine and in memory I believed them to be stamped but they are etched, similar to this mark. And I agree with you Wotan, the mark looks period.

I do like this dagger but that said, I believe it to be a difficult thing to own or sell. It could me as right as rain and there will always be someone saying it's not "textbook" or not period because they'd never seen one previously. The thing itself has a nice fit to it and seems that t has been together for a very long time. Can't say if that means anything except that it likely isn't a recent item. Would love to hear others' thoughts on this interesting piece.
