Early 110 blade marks: evidence of file origin or wild sharpening marks?

In my opinion that is evidence of a horrible sharpening job. By the early 60s buck was stamping blanks out of steel, and wasn't using file blades anymore.
 
OK. Thank you.

This one has the has the bone hard fiber spacer & BUCK stamp on blade done parallel with the blade.
 
It looks like very deep gouges from a bench grinder that was used in a dim witted attempt to sharpen it. Then it was buffed to try to hide them. It didn't work.
 
Get ahold of Leroy at Triple R Knives. He MAY be able to remove some or all of the marks, no guarantee though.
