My Birthday Present: Knife for ID Please

What a superb piece.
Its clearly a very specialised piece. I tend agree it is probobly a hunting item but the military type engravings above the sun/moon are really strange. I find myself thinking of those weird axes from Saxony and thinking its possibly region specific. I like the field surgeon idea.
It looks Germanic to me. I thought mid 18thC as a first impression but I've never seen anything like it before so its only gut feelings.

One things for sure. Its VERY VERY nice.
