Wotan, hi as always thanks for the great photos. Frankly the reason I purchased this was the dedication on the blade. Obverse and reverse. The date was the kicker. I have to think maybe the quill end stamp was.missed and or the ramp could have been added or maybe a true 2nd model that was presented to the fellow later than the date shows? Possibly just an anomaly ?? The condition is not prime but that was no a major concern. Thanks for your response always appreciated!👍👍👍👍👍
