C95 Original Manix Question

[wuyeah]

Hello guys, I recently got an original C95 Manix and this blade has a little "W" with an arrow at the end next to the Colorado txt.
What does this "W" represent

This? Would be Eric Glesser's makers mark (son of Sal Glesser, owner/founder of spyderco)

Just represents that he had a part in its design.
The top logo is Sal's

That is a E and it is Eric Glesser's mark.

When did they put on Manix? Manix has blade run of 2004-2008. I used to own one long time ago. Sold it. I don't remember it had the E logo.
Is this E, early or later production?

I own one from the first run and it has the mark.

Far as I know it was on all of them, and all of the midlock C101's as well, unless whoever was doing the engraving missed one. Like Rycen, I have a first run (CC#d) C95, as well as a numbered C101, and both have it.
