Hi, I finally got the "original" RAO. Basic difference is blade shape and Italian paratrooper insignia. This knife was designed with input of the Italian Special forces; in June 2006 by the 185 ° Rgt. Reconnaissance and Objective Acquisition “FOLGORE” group. The motto is Latin and means, "roughly".... "to see and not be seen". Regards, Mike
