Here's a nice little 3" J.A. Henckels Wharncliffe pattern pen.

I can find 3" serpentine with clip master with curved nail nick in pearl & stag but with an oval shield. I have over 500 pages of Henckels made items so it could be in there. The bone jigging is quite worn but i am fairly sure it is a Henckels made knife, i.e. pre 1960.

I think your knife is a 1713 PST (means bone).
Other pictures show a 3" serpentine pen with pearl handles & oval shield, 3 1/4" with PST, and two 3 5/8", PST and Black Celluloid.
Note the thick master stock, a reliable way to know Henckels made. The 3 5/8" size comes with a great saber ground clip.
