I purchased a Colt LE6940 off a sponsoring dealer and it came with a carry handle but there's no markings on it, should there be markings if it's a genuine Colt carry handle?
 
The colts i have owned have had forge marks, on my old 6933 it came with a square forgemark but that mark is used by a few companies. one of the others i have had had the square and the "C" forge marks
 
Just looked at the one that came with the 6920. A small triangular looking symbol exist just forward of the windage knob on the right side.
