Trench knife for review

[LeonardoL]

Hello gents

What do you think about this piece? Pics are not the greatest but they should be of use.

Well it certainly has an aged patina, looks to be German, style suggests First World War to 1920's era. The grooves on the hand grip look like a non factory addition, perhaps field addition. Blades for these often double edged but single edge possible. Are there any maker marks?

Thanks for the help, if its not WW2 era i will pass on it. However ive asked if there are any maker marks on the blade. I will let you know when the seller replies. Cheers

Hi - I have a similar knife and this style is shown in several collect books, I think t's legit.
