Just a guess but I am told there were a lot of small companies & even individual service men who imported knives from Germany after WWII, a lot of them in the 1950s.
Germany was trying to build it's industrial base back up and they were willing to produce small orders.
I have a similarly constructed knife named Overland. According to Goins' they were in business from 1951 to 1953.
I suspect that your knife is one of the many that were imported in the few years after WWII.
I can't find any reference to Tragbar in any of my sources.
Hope this helps,
Dale
