Title Trench knife
Nationality German
Period c 1917
Sold

Nice example of mock bayonet/trench knife. False pommel button now missing (if it was ever made?). Nickel silver finish with 95% surface intact. Blade with all original factory polish. No maker mark. Checkered hardwood grip, stained to ebony finish. Approximately 70% original scabbard paint remains.

This is typical of what was carried in the street fighting in the early 1920s between the Reds and the Nazis.
