My doubts are caused by the blades. Too sharp edges of planes and poor quality of surface treatment. Too good preservation of etching (considering age) with disgusting quality of printing (crooked fonts). I think that these blades were regrinded and re-etched. I have already seen similar knives on this forum, and they already raised doubts in me. It seems to me that this is the work of one man.
Knife is 100% original in my opinion.

These knives were originally given away so blade finish would not be at the level of a premium more expensive knife.
