Wow! That knife looks older than the hills. Blade looks French in design but I really don't have a clue. Very intricate construction so I would say factory or artisan made. What is the closed length? Is it as heavy as it looks? Any marks of any kind anywhere on it?

Old and interesting for sure. I hope someone has a good answer because you have me interested.

I can't see the other side of the knifes blade? One thing I noticed no nail nicks most likely some type of spring loaded knife possibly a paratrooper knife? How long is the knife closed? Does the sheath fit the knife? I would say the knife is german if if there was no swastka pin.

What a neat old knife. Can't tell you much about it but the shield would indicate made in Germany, WWII

I would like to hear more if anyone has info, great piece!!

I believe that is the coolest knife I have ever seen! Are those bone handles?

Oooops!! I see now that the emblem is not a shield

THE HANDLES ARE SMOOTH HARD WOOD THE LEATHER CASE WITH THE PIN
IS WHAT I FOUND IT IN I DONT KNOW IF ITS GERMAN ?? OR FACTORY MADE ?
I REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS A RARE KNIFE,AND I SURE HOPE I GET SOME DEFINANT
INFO I WILL BE PUTTING IT UP FOR SALE BUT ONLY IF I GET THE INFO I AM LOOKING FOR

WELL I SEE THAT THERE ISNT MUCH INFO ON THIS KNIFE ,DOES ANYONE HAVE OPINION
ON AGE ????
OK THNX EVERYONE !!

JIM

Well, based on btrwtr's information, if the knife goes with the pouch and pin, I would say 1934 to 1945-46, though it does look older than that. Maybe from WWI?
