Proof Mark/Stamp on WW2 German Boot Knife

[billbmcleod]

I have what I believe to be a boot knife that has a one very small stamp on the blade. I have not been able to find an image anywhere that would identify this marking.
I have attempted to post images of the knife and the best image I have been able to get of the stamping.
Any help would be appreciated. The stamp is about 1/2 inch below the hilt.
I still haven't mastered posting Imgur!

Can't say I know how to get the images imbedded, having said that you could just post the link(s) to the images and we can view them that way.

Looks to be a replica made by Cas-Hanwei. Can’t see any blade markings on the link but the sheath is the same. Might be something to check out. Marking on your blade looks to be a Chinese symbol.

I would bet the farm that it is original as it was found with Canadian service medals a bayonet and other war souvenirs and I have had it for 20+ years.
But thanks very much for the help. And yes depending on the rotation it can look Chinese. I tend to imagine it as a stick eagle of some sort.

It sure looks authentic to me.

The stamping is a partial mark of this -

For more information, take a look at this reference site -

Thanks Brookwood, I guess that the stamper was a little tired the day he stamped this knife. I had searched that website but I guess I missed that page. Once you imagine the complete stamp it does fit.
