For a minute there, I thought it was made of one of Leupold's bones... Nice Hunting knife, by the way!

Re: German knife? 90th ID Vet Bringback
Thanks for the information guys. I was able to purchase everything in the group, including a nice P38 pistol with capture papers, Mauser rifle and a bayonet with matching scabbard. There was a ton of other stuff too, which i was able to get, US medals, patches, etc. The only thing left out was this knife. I paid very fair prices on the other stuff, but on this, i have no idea what to offer. Its going to the mans widow, so i have no problem paying market value, if anyone has any idea of a ballpark i should offer, i would appreciate it. (Ill post pics of the total haul later tonight if anyone is interested)

Re: German knife? 90th ID Vet Bringback
Hello Jay, Sure thing-post pics of the lot-it sounds great! As for the value of the knife? Well, it has no sheath and is in fairly rough shape-which is normal for it's age, but as such, it's really not worth a great deal as a collectable or anything. I'm thinking $25 bucks give or take abit would be about tops on it.
