Some inadequate masking of the blade from the acid is what we see. No Solingen maker worth his salt would allow that outside the factory gate.

When I see that masking on a blade ...its an automatic put it back down on the table and walk away moment.
I agree also with Anderson ...nothin leaves the producers doors until it has the final buffing and inspection.
I also see that it may be possible that Paul Weyersburg was issued a RZM permit and never used it ...as from what I have researched as far back as 2012 in Fishers reference that there were " No known examples observed "
I can check further on the RZM number..for the sake of if they used their permit...but the masking on the blade...forget it

Larry,
I agree it was messed with as concerns the traces of masking around the motto and trademark.
Otherwise, I do not see problems in the limited photos supplied:
- Sharp spines are not that unusual in RZM daggers. Neither are slightly off-center points
- The RZM trademark is a rare one, and it matches 100% the one I turned up.
- The masked areas are lighter
I think it is a real, rare, dagger on which some one masked the trademark and motto for some unknown reason. A good mystery, but not a fake.
Geoff,
What does the rest of it look like ?

Looks like something Jim Atwood would produce. RZM standards as well as Paul Weyersberg company standards would have rejected that blade for use in a completed dagger. It could be a partially finished blade,or a reject blade that was acquired post war and fitted to other parts in an assembly.
-
I continue to believe that this is a correct later RZM dagger. Looking forward to more photos.
