All About Pocket Knives

I inherited a pocket knife from my Dad's estate I believe could be a "war prize" from Germany. It has two blades, a "hook", and a cork screw.

It is a Wester Brothers and one side has the saying "Hopfen und Malz, Gott erhalt's"- The other side appears to be a stylish lady and ivy. It gives me the impression of being silver since the side with the lady seems worn flat-ish like a silver coin would. Anyone have any ideas or knowledge of this?

The German translates to “hops and malts, God bless them”. (Literally “God preserve them”). I’m doubtful it has anything to do with the war. JMO. The “hook” and corkscrew are for opening corked bottles, could be beer, wine, champagne, etc.

Since it was your father’s, it’s a priceless heirloom.
