German fighting knife ID help
It looks like ww2 German knife? Help needed about any additional information about this knife( model? Year of production, possible producer?? ) unfortunately there is no marks or stamps of any kind. Do you think wood grips are original? Thanks in advance!
A bit rough, but it does appear to be an authentic Infantriemesser 42, with replaced home made wood grips and some blade length lost as well.
Wow what a shame to see ...in this condition.
Was this a ground find ?
Regards Larry

No, it was brought from Germany recently, and was on a flea market along side with some old instruments ( obviously was forgotten in some German workshop or barn...)
I’m considering making of new grips and used it for re-enactment as it is not in collectible condition..
Looks like it has had a lot of post war use. Could have been a farmers knife.
