Hi
I recently came across the two knives below and I've been informed that they might be German.
The larger of the two is marked on the blade "Abourgade" with the image of a head. The scabbard is steel and has the number 979 stamped across the top.
The second knife which has a wodden ribbed handle does'nt appear to have any markings although I'm nor sure if there's a number or lettering stamped into the wood as I can't make it out.
My question is, would they be German and if so, what period would they date from.
Any help would be gratefully received
Robbo
