Original German WWI Stag Handle Knife Captured & Modified by U.S. Soldier During WWII with Scabbard by Anton Wingen Jr.
-
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a very interesting German knife of the World War I era manufactured by Anton Wingen Jr. of Solingen, and later captured & modified by an American soldier during World War II.
The knife has a 5½” blade which is faintly marked:
ANTON WINGEN JR.
FABRIK FEINEN STAHLWAREN
SOLINGEN
The blade has likely been sharpened by the soldier who captured it. The stag handle is still well-retained with service-wear. The pommel of the knife has a U.S. WWII Collar disc attached and vaulted, which is still held on strong.
The original scabbard appears custom and has hand-cut belt loops. The leather retaining strap is still in place.
A very nice example of a captured knife, ready for further research and display.
Specifications:
Blade Length: 5 1/2"
Overall length: 11 5/8“
Scabbard length: 7 ¼”
