The seller said that there are no other marks.

Any other information is also welcome.

I hope everything is fine with this post, I'm new šŸ˜¬

Looks like a 1941 L36K, based on the spacer pattern. The 1936 version has 2 sets of brass spacers at either end and the post WW2 versions had different patterns as well. The 1941 is the only one with the triple single ring pattern.

Just two more quick question if you do not mind.

Is the first knife from 1941 exactly or is it from a date range? (i.e. 1941 to 1953)

Would that mean that this other knife would be from 1936 to 1940?

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
