I am not positive but i think this could be a japanese shellpuller from the 50s 60s.
One was used in an undwerwater scene in Godzilla the movie.
It was discussed in a topic some time ago type in "Godzilla" and i believe the knife was panzerfausts.

The pic there is a springer ( bolster ) this one has no bolster markings

Japanese. There are many variations. 1950s-1960s.
Notice the shell pullers would not actually work. These were copies of German knives, made with no actual understanding of the use.

Thank you Bill looks very old indeed but needs TLC

[Bill DeShivs]

There is something very wrong with the backspring. I would leave the knife open until it is repaired.

[HDC]

It opens fine but the back spring needs some repair was going to sell as is or ???? What ya think Bill ? Lol

[Bill DeShivs]

I think the kickspring is forcing the backspring to do that. I don't know why, but it can break the backspring.

Send price a estimate to my email I'll send it out

Also proud blade

[Bill DeShivs]

Don't know. Probably 1 hour-$70.

On the way I'll mail this week and thank you .....Duncan

[Bill DeShivs]

On second thought- The backspring is bent even when the knife is open.
If it is just bent, I can probably fix it.
There is a very good chance that the backspring is broken at the pin hole.
I guess we'll see!
