Hello, welcome to the forum!
Looks like a post-WW2 piece to me; blade is not a toy though. How does it feel in the hand? Regards, Kai |

Welcome to the forum!
Agree with Kai that the blade seems very well made. What bother me is the handle. It look like painted with a tarnish of shellac and like it is not attached strong to the blade. Maybe a later replacement? Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 12th May 2012 at 12:05 AM. |

I have seen WWII pieces like this with this type of handle. It is WWII or after.

Ah yes, I wondered who got this one as I bid on it as well.
But fortunately, I got one of his other ones. |
