Maxxx,


You are correct the Tiger TM on that early hj is wrong !!

See some Tiger TMs here: lets see some Tiger! - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums

thanks Mac 66.

well, maybe it is a rare variation ?
The grip looks original to me.
Also the motto is ok IMO.
Why someone put fake maker mark on early blade ?
It could be the earliest Tiger ?
let's wait for more opinions

the logo looks etched.
was sometimes etched in early knifes of makerlogo?
I compare pieces wanted ... but not found.

You never know ,what they did and what tried to do in early times .

Maybe ?, etched MM & not deep stamped like we normally see ?, would like to see more early Tiger hjs with same etched TM to changed my mind but never say never in this hobby i guess.

I owned an early Thin blade by Tiger once
Here is a my former Tiger, this is how it should look like IMO, stamped logo, larger Logo also.

whats also a big red flag is that the small Tiger is etched AND has a different type of Font then the Ges.Geschutz. which makes it questionable for me.
Compare it to this one, and you see that the appeareance of the one i show fits, the little one is a bit of a mismatch.

Another large logo variant of the " Tiger " ,, considered a "2nd Type Large variant "



I agree with Ivan that much is still to be discovered in rare applications..yet the Ernst Pack Logos by themselves were stamped heavily and worn a little on the Pack HJ on the left.

Larry my point is that the etched Tiger logo has a different style TIGER, the fonts isTIGER\

I agree with you that Tiger has used a lot of different tigers on their logo's but as far as i have seen Always with the straight Font TIGER and stamped.
