In Connecticut you can own switch blades and gravity knives but if you are caught carrying them there are severe consequences, huge fines and long prison sentences! I have a bunch of west German Gravity knives but am still looking for a decent WWII example. Jim G.
how should a decent knife look like? My knife, how would it be classified and at what price?

Officialdom don't like these knives. In the Country I live in, you can legally own a gravity knife, but it is a prohibited import. So you can't buy one from a dealer offshore, which rather limits the market.
Max show coming up in Monroeville Pa...or wait until next year when the Max show moves to York Pa...a little closer ..and you can buy period examples by the dozens.

As far as the OP's knife is concerned. Looks all original to me but heavily cleaned and polished and the grips appear to be sanded as well. Could just be the photos.

I'm not quite sure how much cleaning it has had. The blade is stainless steel. But the wood grip plates do look bleached and quite "open grain" and not what you would expect from 75 years of handling. But it is authentic and that is the main point.
