I got it, neither do I, but I am trying to get a handle on this. Didn't Jack say that an "east" facing RMK stamp was unequivocally a Johnson? Didn't he also say a serif stamp was unequivocally a Heiser (HKL)?

If my memory is correct and contradicting Jack's "theory", either not all Johnson made sheaths stamps were east facing, OR, some early Johnson sheaths had serif stamps. Can't have it both ways.

I totally agree Ron, it is a Johnson with serif stamp.

Note, it is the different size between the two serif fonts, so I surmise again, Johnson had the serif stamps. Don't know of any other explanation.
