so I picked this up a few years back but even having a M.M. I haven't been able to find any info on the age, maker or value. Any info welcomed
Looks like the M.M. says...

I have no idea what these markings refer to. Never seen them before.

Could someone have had this knife engraved with those letters?

Agree with Redryder. Looks more like engraving. Maybe, 'Montana Territory" abbreviated and someone's initials ? Pretty knife. J.O'.

I know nothing about this knife, but it looks German.
