Green Verdigris ? ? ? ??

Got your PM. OK....
Your dagger blade shows a general Stab etch on the reverse. All these I have seen were IMO, found on these fake blades.
The etch on your example is known for it's bad quality. Note your swastika's lower leg blends into the border outline. Then the eagle itself, is the most obvious, with that Jimmy Durante schnoz, it resembles more a vulture than a eagle. Here's what a eagle on a Luftwaffe blade should look like.
There are No Jimmy Durante buzzard blade etch varients that are pre 1945.
Also, do a search on this model with that maker and you will see other comparisons.
If it was sold to you as 'authentic', I would return that sled for refund.

Dagger pommel, grip, ferrule, crossguard and scabbard are Luftwaffe repro "Spain" Paul Weyersberg.
Blade is orginal, but as stated above - with fake etch motifs.
Clemen & Jung was never used such etched blades for Luftwaffe daggers.
