Serial number placement on DHS blades

[tocco]

Hi. I have recently bought a DHS W968 provincial blade (I hope so anyway. . .), it all looks authentic to me with the correct packaging, card etc. However, I have been surprised and a little concerned that the serial numbers I was expecting to be on the side of the handle are actually on the face of the blade. Is this the new placement? Or is it a different variant of HL5?
I don't think it's fake, partly because it would be a monumental mistake for what is otherwise an excellent copy, although I could always be proved wrong. . .

Yeah, thats the newest version. Every DHS blade will be liked that
