A german WW1 trench dagger with scabbard

[JensF.]

I just got this german WWI trench dagger (Grabendolch); its complete with scabbard and leather. No stamps or maker marks. Any opinions about the maker? I think this type of trench dagger is one of the common ones but still rare. However I think I don't want to know the history of this particular item...

Hi Jens, I cannot really tell you anything about your trench knife. There were a great many different makers of these and they are a study in there own right. But it looks fine to me


Here is mine, which is missing the leather retaining loop. The original owners name is sratched onto the grip.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade! Yep, that seems to be the same type.
