Is my Busse real?

Years ago I got a hankering for bigger knife for camp use. I bought a flak jack by Busse. It has nothing on the blade except BUSSE on the I’ll call it the left side. Nothing about the steel used. So I just tried to see if I could get that from some quick poking around on the net but struck out. I did find a thread where someone said they stamp every knife blade with this info. So now I’m wondering if I got a counterfeit knife. It is a satin blade with no coating. Any help appreciated.
 
Busse marks each blade's presentation side with the name of steel used *unless* it is INFI steel. Flack Jacks that are SR101 steel are marked "Busse Battle Grade SR101". INFI version- just "BUSSE", or sterile (no markings) if allowed & requested (or if a military overrun only on an INFI steel Busse model).
Hope that helps 🤙
 
Flak Jack is a GREAT knife. Especially in bare INFI, which it appears yours is.
I have two, one in bead-blasted INFI, the other in black-coated SR-101. Both fantastic.
