Interesting. This should generate a bit of debate. Lugwig Zeitler at Wien was a known maker of the HJ knife but volume must be very small. I would have expected the maker stamp on the back to be "L.ZEITLER-WIEN", I have some concern about the rivets and a general wariness of anything Austrian in that post war manufacture of TR era materials did occur, see Rudolf Souval. Any maker mark on the snap button?

Yes, maker-marked 'Stocko'.

I also agree with Anderson as this would be the 2nd RZM type seen by this producer and should have the letter "L" ..and first time seeing the period mark between the M and the 7
I would also like to hear more thoughts from Stingray..Gerrit and Mac66
are the grip rivets alluminum?

They certainly appear to be, Larry.

Here are my 2 cents:
Anderson has a few questions about this knife that are more then legit when you ask me.
What concerns me:
Button on press side has 4 pressure release cuts, to me a huge red flag, as these are modern made, the Stocko fonts are different on period ones.
This for example is a huge give away and seen on the recent flood of repro army dagger horseshoe hangers, made partly of old stock strap en recently made parts.
Why is the leather strap looking not only looking brand new, has no rounded corners and seems to be on the thin side?
Why suddenly add a dot behind the M. in the logo?
Why do these 39 knive lack the letter L. on the Zeitner marking?
Why they suddenly moved to alu rivets? why do suddenly pop up more prestine Zeitner 39 knives?
All these questions leads to following:
Would i feel comfortable with this knife in my collection?
the answer is NO
If someone feels comfortable with a knife like this, well be my gast.
I rather stick to what i know for sure is period, and this one doesnt meet my standards.

Great point about the Stocko clasp & strap. Damning points really, strongly suggests post war.
