1TH is the same as 1ST only it wouldn’t be confused with 1ST SFG(A).
When was the very first SF Underwater Dive Team authorized? Might be a clue to the origins of the knife which looks remarkably well. I don’t think any letters or inscription is missing. I’d also look at type face from the period and see why the larger space between SF G / UD T because it’s not a whole space but something the typewriter key set did. Looks “Times Roman” but not sure.

Now I'm confused. How the heck is 1TH the same as 1st? I was in 1st and never heard of 1TH. anywhere. And why the "." after the 1TH ? Looks to me as if something is abbreviated.
And why is 1TH. so far away from SFG/UDT ? If I ordered the knife it would read:
1st SFG(A) ODA-XXX UDT
