Ok, I will start from the beginning. As this is very BASIC concepts in making etching plates.. Question?? Do you understand how etching plates are made?????
Many times the artwork for the etching plates is done many times oversize .. Why is the original hand done artwork done oversize????????????????????? Because through photography they reduce the original art to the correct size and have a negative.. The size on your Navy dagger.. THIS IS THAN USED TO MAKE THE METAL ETCHING PLATES... Also the artwork is done oversize to make imperfections almost unnoticeable... The metal plate I have pictured with the logos is the same size as your postwar trademark on your Navy.. Hermann you are embarrassing yourself here and seem to be in total denial.. The logo in the metal plate was used for your navy dagger..
How can I help you ?? What more do you want to see??? You seem to not understand what the photos mean...
