    And some interesting statements
    This is the final model of Dutch Netherlands Klewang cutlass. The Dutch government contracted with a US manufacturer (Lilly Ames) to make its model of cutlass in 1941. Unfortunately for both the Dutch and Lilly-Ames the Germans overran the Dutch Netherlands and payment for most of these models was never made to Lilly-Ames. Towards the end of the war these M1941 models were sold off as surplus.
    Maybe that is the reason why there is no mark, because it was sold as surplus.
