Boot or fighting knife, blade is marked S. Opinions on the S marking, thanks for your time. Ralph

It looks fine to me, one of the harder ones to find.

I made another post on this marking recently and like I wrote then I think it is for SMF. I also think that there is more than a little chance that knives so marked we provided to the Army or W-SS rather than the LW.

It looks good to me.
Mine is marked with number 6
