I think it's a good one.. The only thing that bothers me is the diamnond... its silver insteat of gold...



Cheers,

I think more photos are needed, i, for one, would like to see better pics of the:
Diamond, RZM, and reverse grips (to show the rivets)

My concerns are:
Diamond being parallel to the checkering, and RZM code on the obverse side, as it isnt very common to find, and i havent found any list in which the M7/22 was marked this way.

And last thing, strelets, i think the appropiate place to post this would have been the daggers forum, where you would have got more feedback.
If you are considering buying this, i think you should wait and see what the other guys think about it.

Michael,
I think that the diamond being silver instead of gold isnt a big problem, the gold finish has dissapeared from many knives due to the usage.

i find it alittle odd to see the early maker mark and logo on the blade but when you show the opposite side its rzm & 1939, if it was just the logo makers mark i wouldnt give it a second thought....

could be a late produced knife from old stock, try and find how this company stamped its rzm mark if its similar then perhaps its a scarce find.

Mike, i think you are spot on there.
I really didnt think about that, RZM showing 1939 and having the markers mark is very strange.
Although we have a thread about transitional examples(but with no motto) in the late period, we only have 1938 examples posted.
Old stock piece with a RZM code added later, in 1939, is the best theory for this one, IMO.

Thanks guys!
I'm going to buy it, hope tomorrow will post the better pics of it.
