I believe Bill is correct. I have some Randall knives from the 1960's. Two have etched logos. One of these is a Solingen; the other has a blade made by Randall; it appears that it was first stamped poorly, then etched over the stamped area.

(I have other knives with etched logos that were made later than the 1960's.)
