This site (above) in Dutch (so I used google to translate), but about 4/5 of the way down the thread they have a picture of three handle tips. They say two German and one is Dutch - this one resembles the Dutch one to me. I'm no expert, just pointing this info out.

If german WW2 or dutch depends on the way it looks when its folded and the nut tightened (blade and shaft should not be in an angle of 180 degrees):

Looks Dutch to me, Something else I allways look at is the Nuts. They should be flattened at the top :
