Herder Dagger: What is it? Opinions please.

[Harvey A]

Hello again,

A friend of mine has this for sale. He doesn't know what it is and has yet to put a price on it. What is it and what is it worth, conservatively?

Thanks,

Harvey

Wierd Grip. What material is that?

[Skipper Greenwade]

Most likely a private purchase hunting/camping knife with - perhaps - some embellishment by one of its owners along the line. Not an official Third Reich piece in any event.

As for value, if ever there was a case of "...whatever someone will pay for it", this is it!

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Thanks Skip. Anyone else have any knowledge of these?
