The link below points to the website of a German knife collector & knife friend who collects various old school Solinger Fahrtenmesser (or Scout knives as they are called in the rest of the world), which i also happen to like quite a bit.
The website is meant only for showcasing his beautiful and still expanding collection, not for commercial purposes, and the owner is a very friendly fellow, who also reads & writes in English.

Re: Solinger Fahrtenmesser
The collector should know that Klass is "Robert Klaas." "Robert" is abbreviated "Robt.", not "Robi."

Re: Solinger Fahrtenmesser
In the link . . . the middle knife on the cover page.
I have a similar knife without the blade etch.
I chipped the point, and it is re-tipped. but it's subtle.
I can't recall the tang stamp.
I'm curious now. . . I have to get someone to dig it out.
