Hubertus Springer: How old?

Post by BruceS »

Hello,
Anyone have an idea how old this knife is. Had it maybe 10 years and the condition hasn't changed. I don't clean relics at all. It was in a box of military items I purchased. The other stuff (medals, etc.)were post war and the individual was stationed in Germany. It is tightly sprung and is very fast.

Thanks
Bruce

Bill is correct as the etch appears grey. If there is a "W" in front of Germany it was made 1984 - 1988. If no "W" then 1988 or later.
