Is this a Grabendolch or a Infanteriemesser 42?

it certainly looks to be a GRABENDOLCH to me. jmho.
Hi - Your knife looks to be a WWI era Gottlieb Hammesfahr. The mark you circled is an inspection mark.
Thank you very much

It's not maker marked which would be unusual for the WW1 era Gottieb Hammesfahr trench knives usually seen. Further more the scabbard appears to have had only one rivet holding the leather hanger. That also is unusual. Maybe produced by another maker late WW1.
Hi Anderson - I don't recall seeing any other makers with this shape hilt and blade, can you post an example of one made by another maker? cheers
an alternate question to be asked...could the community here see another example with a more clearer inspection stamp?by sb98
If we are trying to find another example...lets seek one of each.

Greetings Gents,
I can't assist with one with a clearer mark than the original poster's, but another manufacturer's type (E & F Hörster) of the same style is viewable here on post #140 That WWI German & occasional Austrian Trench Knife Thread
Best,

That's very close indeed, thanks Lance.
