Does it have the Patent stamp on the back? I've been told that all kriss Latamas had it, but that could be misinformation

Cool! I've got one with the patent stamp, but it appears to be a different actual stamp (smaller font, tighter kerning): viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26184&hilit=latama+%2F+patent

looks just like one that I had some time back, I have seen a Latama kriss blade that did not have the rear tang stamp.

I was contacted by a fellow collector who I consider the best source on Italian automatic knives, and was told that all Latama kriss blades did have both a tang stamp on the front and the patent stamp #35958 , so the one that I saw was either a knockoff or a fake, I stand corrected, not surprising.

Hey I thought the kriss blades with the script cursive were some of the later latamas.until I saw the kriss with slanted block letters from Luke of mass.
