Mystery Military Knife
I just purchased this knife and was hoping to get some opinions as to where it originates. It was sold as an Imperial German piece but it seems much more recent than that. It looks to be from the 1940's to the 1950's judging from it's patination (or lack there of). It's characteristics remind me of a German made piece manufactured for export to South America, potentially for a military contract. It is nearly void of marks other than what looks to be a number on the rear quillon.
