Hauer m 34 clemens & jung rad hewer (no rad triangle real or fake)

[MajorSteele]

Hello

Im looking at a Rad Hewer Dagger by Clemens & Jung
I skeptical about the missing RAD triangle
wondering if it was an early version or a reproduction



Thanks in advance

I have never seen a Clemen & Jung RAD hewer but what makes me question it is the particular maker mark used. This large etched oval mark often appears on postwar items, especially Navy daggers and etched blade items.

The other thing that is curious is the angle of the pommel which seems pointed too high. The thing as a whole appears well made but I would be very cautious about it because it could be postwar assembled. Also note the white edges of the stag grips.

Thank you for that
