The stamp by itself looks fine to me. I would really like to see the entire knife. The blade surface condition looks too good to be commensurate with age of the knife. It could be an unused well-preserved knife - they exist. The stamp is one of several factors to assess.

Here is a picture of the back of the knife. I don't need to see the stamp to tell you it is a bad knife. Bone is far from correct.

Yes, the rest of the knife looked bad to me, but I thought the stamp was exceptionally troubling. Lots of little lines, not done as one impact.
I figured you had all seen the knife and would know what I was looking at.
