Dagger Help

[mwliles]

Greetings,
I came across this blade and believe it to be some form of interwar or postwar commercial made piece sold to Soldiers. GermanSoldiers? Allied Soldiers? It had a wood handle wrapped in a yellow celluiod. The handle did not appear to be very robust. Are these collectible and what dagger manufacturer made this piece? I think it resides somewhere in the $100 range? Many thanks to all those that respond.

I failed to take a picture of the handle. DUH!

Someone etched motifs of German naval dagger on the blade of SA dagger.
For me, post-war.
Far as I remember well G. C Co. Solingen Germany is still there, produces a variety of knives.

If that's an SA blade the fellow holding it has a HUGE thumb.

More like a NSFK blade with a postwar etch.

its a post war made item not meant to deceive. made for export.
made in Germany is marked only for export

Hi Marion,

I agree with DaveR. This piece probably has nothing to do with the TR era. I recall seeing pieces similar to this being sold to knife collectors back in the 1960s and '70s.

Cheers,

if i'm not mistaken the G.C co.( Guttmann Cutlery co.) is actually based in fla usa. they are an importer. and you will find the same G.C co logo with Solingen, japan and Italy
