Well, it’s a German blade at least. It is marked Soligen underneath. That’s about as far as ai can go.

MH72, while doing some research on another German maker, I ran across a reference to an old stamping that included a Pyramid "and a palm tree". The referenced maker was listed as Ferd. Herberz & Cei. Not sure if it's an exact match but seems to be a close fit. Cool old knife.

Anthony Carter's "Guide to German Knife & Sword Makers" has an image of the stamp describe by Joe. It is actually a palm tree beside a single pyramid on a grassy surface. Carter makes no mention of a palm tree inside 3 pyramids ever being used by Ferdinand Herberz & Co.
I paged through Carter's book (which has tang stamps in the margins) and did not find a match to the stamp on the OP knife.

Thanks Guys....
I had that page marked.
I went through page by page (all 650 of them!), and that was the closest I found.
