    Ade-
    Kudos to you for correctly identifying these markings. The majority of collectors refer to these as " Gau " marks, which they are not. The stampings indicate the S A Gruppe.

    I think it is just a light strike, so it was done again to make it clearer. Looks fine to me.

    Cheers, Ade.

    RZM = Reichzeugmeisterei

    M7/66 is the RZM makers code stamp for Carl Eickhorn. This is called a "Transitional" by US collectors or in German a double maker marked "Doppelhersteller", as it also features the Company logo. Later the Company logo was done away with.

    That looks like a very early transitional with nickle silver fittings. The later ones were plated and poorly constructed. The fittings and scabbard are worth more than the blade on that one.

    It is very common to see this as the person had to set the stamping die in place and find his place with the hammer. Like putting a nail in a wall you must find your spot and starts with a light tap. I see this all the time. You can see on the left side of the "B" there is a light tapping starting point
