IMPERIAL GERMAN WW1 PRIVATE PURCHASE TRENCH KNIFE.

Supplying combat/trench knives during WW1 was big business and there was a vast array of knives offered commercially. This is an example with a stag horn grip. A steel ferrell and steel ‘S’ shaped crossguard. A standard tubular black painted steel scabbard with leather belt loop. The single edged blade on this example has seen some use but remains very bright and clean with no damage. A similar example of this type of knife can be found on page 15 of Christian Merys book German Combat knives 1914-1945, along with a folder wearing one on his belt.
“The sale of Knives and other Edged Weapons are restricted to those aged over 18. Verification of age is required before purchase is concluded.”
