Boot Knife?

[stephen grund]

Is this a boot knife? I thought boot knives had usually a clip not a leather strap at the top of the sheath? Please let me know I've been looking for one.

It is a German WW1 trench knife with his tipycal sheath, the retaining strap is missing

Yes, a private purchased German WWI Armeedolch.
Sadly the blade is badly slurred, also the rivets of the belt loop are´nt, (IMHO), the original ones ...


Such pattern Armeedolche, designated as trench knives, showing the "kitchen knife hilt", were made by several manufacturers, for example:

Ferd. Müller, Münster i.W.;
Gebr. Dittmar, Heilbronn;
Jetter & Scherer, Aesculap Werke, Tuttlingen, Württemberg;
DEMAG, (Deutsche Maschinenfabrik AG, Duisburg);
Engelswerk;
Paul Seilheimer, Solingen;
ERN, Rasiermesserfabrik, Solingen, Wald;
F.A. NIPPEL;
OMEGA, Josef Feist, Solingen;
Köller;
H. Böker & Co. Solingen,
Eduard Wüsthof, Dreizackwerk, Solingen;
DELTA, Hugo Linder, Solingen;
Leupold, Gefrees;
Robert Herder, Solingen-Ohligs;
Daniel Herder, Ohligs Solingen;
Emil Hermes, Solingen;
Gebr. Rauh, Gräfrath-Solingen

There´re also such pattern Armeedolche, only hallmarked with SOLINGEN upon one side of the blade.

Best regards,
