Karl S.,
Yes, unfortunately, it's one of the "Delta International" fakes from the 1960s...with the "boxed" hinge, coke bottle pin, and sham "RZM" code....these still turn up, occassionally on dealer sites that should know better....
Sorry....

There is one of these fakes currently for sale on the Manion's list it yourself auction. The seller goes on a long diatribe about how he bought it directly from a 101st Airborne vet....

The easiest thing to remember about these is most known original are unmarked. No UMLAUT over the U is not a good sign. Put the two together and even without confirmation like we already have it would be very supicious
