Old German Knife

Post by Corocotta »

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!

No. Those were commercial knives from the 1960 era.
