Nahkampfmesser - Trench / Boot knife

Article about: I got this one recently. It's in great condition but unfortunately did not come with a scabbard, however, it was free so I shouldn't moan. The blade is marked / stamped with an 'S'.

    Looks to be a good conditioned original example,, hopefully in time a scabbard will pop up somewhere! Regards Larry

    I've had a quick look on eBay but there's nothing at the moment. Do you anymore about this knife? There seems to be some debate as to what the 'S' stands for (although I think the common consensus is that it is a manufacturer). I take it the best scabbard to look for is the metal variety with the clip (I have seen a number of leather scabbards but I am unsure whether these are original)

    Im not sure of the "S" mark but I did notice another little mark underneath the left side of the crossguard,, what is that? Larry

    I think it is just a small dent/scratch and a mark. I noticed it on the photo as well, however, when you inspect the knife in hand you can't really see anything so I think it's just a trick of the light.

    Nice pick up, especially for free!
    This is the style of sheath that it should have. They do show up for sale once in a while.
    I am still looking for an "S" marked example for my collection.

    Cheers Ralph for answering my query about the scabbard - the hunt is now on! (although I'll probably have to pay money for it Bah Humbug)
