Ryan,

The smaller stamped dual logo mark is generally viewed as period produced. The large oval etched logo is a controversial topic.

Some Navy collectors believe Clemen & Jung never used that mark pre-1945. Some collectors believe there were some produced in the period but it would come down to the individual dagger itself. Generally fit and finish are a huge consideration. Also, if the inside of the grip has a wood core, that’s considered a good sign.

A friend of mine acquired one in a huge collection he bought. I examined it closely and the quality was such that I believed it to be period produced.

I personally like Clemen & Jung’s stuff but I guess we all have to be comfortable with that which we buy.
