Trench knife WKC

[Martin C]

Hello Friends,

I found this trench knife today at a gun show and thought that i share it with the forum. Am i safe to assume that this was manufactured by WKC ? (Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Cie AG) As always, i look forward to your input.

I like the black paint on the hilt, it contrasts nicely with the stag.

Similar design are not real pre WW1 probably, this was firstly used in war as a dress or combat purpose items. b.r.Andy
