Original German WWI “1914 FELDZUG 1915” Stamped Trench Fighting Knife with Ribbed Grips & Original Rolled Steel Scabbard
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Fitted with a single edged and a slight Bowie style blade this is an original fighting knife used by the Germans in WW1 and then again in WW2. In heavily-used condition, this knife has an all-wood grip with hatching secured by two pins. The blade is single edged but has been heavily sharpened and its profile changed by the soldier who carried it.
The blade is faintly stamped 1914 FELDZUG 1915 (1914 Campaign 1915), the first time we’ve ever seen something like this. This would denote the knife having been used in 1915. The knife comes in an original rolled steel World War One scabbard with a very fragile leather belt loop which is now missing the securing strap and snap. Still a lovely display example with a rare stamp.
No maker’s markings but a great interesting piece.
