Hello I have brought this post back up Paul Hogle references Tom's excellent naval book as stating that the Clemen and Jung etched maker mark was used on period pre war kriegsmarine daggers. My question: Are C&J etched trademarked Kriegsmarine blades accepted as "post war" by the collecting community or, as Tom states does one have to judge the merits of the entire piece specific to originality. Are the post war???? thanks cheers and best Ryan
