Hi!
I am Hugo from Spain.
I was in an antique store in Joplin (USA) and bought this Knife. In the blade says "Solingen Gambill Germany" and according to the seller its dated from WWI or WWII.
I have been doing some research in the internet, but I can not find anything.
I have found similar knifes but the handle is always different (the handle in this one is metallic).
Do you think it was used by the German army?
Here a link to some photos:

Many thanks in advance!

Re: Old German Knife
No. Those were commercial knives from the 1960 era.

Re: Old German Knife
Hi, thanks for your quick reply. Seems I got wrong info from the seller!
