[Grade] NM [Item #] D292 [Description] 
Luftwaffe Paratrooper Gravity Knife by SMF of Solingen (Solinger MetallwaffenFabrik) This is an amazing example in near mint condition with nickel plated hardware throughout. The blade activation lever functions perfectly and is stamped "959" in 2 places. The marlin spike is marked with a Waffen Amt stamp....a tiny and somewhat abstract National Eagle with a "5" in the center of his chest. The medium/light brown wood grip plates are near perfect with no damage other than subtle depressions and faint scratches from being handled. The blade is absolutely pristine with no signs of use with all of the cross graining intact. The SMF "seated king" trademark, "SOLINGEN", the city where the factory was located, and "ROSTFREI" (stainless steel) are crisply etched into the reverse with all of the gray frosting intact.
Third Reich Depot, military collectables, World War II, Nazi Germany
