id request marking on touareg sword

I think the French military connection looks very probable now - if the mark is "scratched" and not stamped it seems likely a French service member could have requested it when purchasing or ordering the sword.

It is not "scratched", its a smooth ?mechanical stamped mark.

Well that makes it more puzzling to me and kind of throws out the French service member theory. I'm back to wondering about scrap steel.
