As with the other diver's knife I think that the Maker's mark is the 1969 pattern.

Lampwick:

Here are two Henckels TMs on Luft2 that I have that also look like what you call the 1969 pattern?????

I think this pattern was in use during war time.

In this case it would seem that I'm wrong and that you can't believe all that you read on the Internet.

[JohnZ]

If you got this off the Henckels web site, I would attribute it to the collective amnesia that a lot of arms manufacturers had after the war about their war time production ('We did not produce war materials' seems to be a common refrain from many.

The TM shown on the divers knife is the 1900 pattern

No worry friend.
The 1900 TM was used until the end of the 20's.From the beginning of the 30's until 1969 they've had used the same TM as you meant,but without the red background.
