relic crank handle

[Reibert-Austria]

Hi, mates !

Want to show you this trench knife "Modell 16", ("1916 pattern" due to it´s introduction in the year of 1916).

This pattern Armeedolch is also referred to as "Aufpflanzbares Dolchmesser mit geschweiften Griff", ("attachable dagger-knife with curved handle").

The Armeedolch is showing only a relic condition, but, also, an "been there, done that" -one.

In my eyes daggers in such condition are still collectible, don´t you think so ?

Cheers,
R.

I sure think so aswell. I love the thought of it that it has seen actual combat, i find those type of worn items to have a great character.

I can only agree. Great character. It is old, and shows its age. There will always be a market for these types of items.

Be hard pressed to artificially age something like this
