Thank you for looking that up. So this knife could be a early, early production one?
In fact the more I think about it, the type of stick eagle is probably more Weimar republic, than Imperial, which would make sense.
This is the point of a discussion where research needs to go deeper ...as what has been commonly found in the type of stick birds both 5 and 6 ...this " Weimar " type ...which I am not discounting ..but a comparable example should be found to help this thread.
Question : SMF has always used the common stick bird type ...and I would expect an obscure producer to possibly use the "Weimar " type..but SMF has always used the most common type.
Did SMF misplace or did the punch worker accidentally put the die in his pocket after his shift? Sounds silly
SMF is known for this type as well as a few other Gravity knife producers ...why the change.
I also understand Andersons theory on the use on bayonet types...but the gravity knife is related to the Luftwaffe and those same stick birds are also found on some Luftwaffe daggers.
Thoughts ? ...Pudding ? Need proof.
