I have a large database of daggers that i own(ed) and looking at the different Höller logo's that i have (and seen on internet) none have the thermometer touching the outhercirkel and none have dots instead of lines.
I see no reason why a logo on a damast blade would have it differently.
I know that damast can have different logo styles (like henckels used on their top damast pieces) but in this case the logo differs only on a few minor points, more likely not an original etch sjablone.

About the imperial Eickhorn logo on that Applikants its not only a logo that has not been seen before but the big red flag is that its etched, and on the imperial navy blades Eickhorn, as far as i know, always stamped their Logo.
A non original blade would have an etched logo as an etch sjablone can be easily made by laser, but a die stamp will be very expensive to produce.

Regards
Ger
