Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Fitted with a single edged "spear-point" style blade, this is an original fighting knife used by the Germans in WW1 and then again in WW2. In nice used condition, this knife has an all-wood grip with hatching secured by three steel rivets. The blade is single edged but has a small false edge of about two inches at the point. The knife comes in an original rolled steel World War One scabbard, which has had the belt loop almost completely tear away.
The blade is in very good condition, showing wear consistent with service, but no major abuse. It is still mostly bright, showing some staining from service. It looks to have had the main edge arsenal sharpened, and it is still relatively sharp. Much of the blade still looks to have the original surfacing, so it was not excessively cleaned. There is a small Imperial German gothic letter inspection proof on the ricasso, but no maker or other markings. The scabbard is in good service used condition, showing no major dents but missing most of the original black enamel finish.
A classic example, ready for display in any quality German edged weapons collection of the Great War or World War Two.
