Hi,
A friend of mine is selling this gravity knife.
I would like to know more information about it.
What is the maker?
Does it look to have been sharpened - value damaged?

This link might provide some info as I am not sure. Looks sharpened to me. Does it function properly? Is there any history behind it?
The Reichsbetriebsnummer RB numbering system.

Yes it functions properly.
I thought it was sharpened but was not 100% sure.
It is a vet bring back.
I have seen them offered for $400-$700 but I am wondering how much the sharpening de-values the knife.
We collectors are a funny lot - a soldier sharpens his knife during the war ( possibly in the field ) and we consider it less valuable........ but never used and we love it!!??

It's a good one. From the R.B.Nr code we know the maker is Paul Weyersberg of Solingen. Bayonets should not be sharpened, that was regulation. A pocket knife was a tool and common sense would tell you soldiers would sharpen them. Collectors sometimes don't recognize common sense.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Nice original as stated looks like the take down model? timothy
Thank you all for your replies and help.
My friend offered to sell me the knife.
He is asking $350 for it.
I have seen them on dealer sites go from upwards of $750 to $425 on the low end.
I am wondering if based on the condition $350 would be reasonable.
Seems fair to me. The wood grips appear unscratched or dented.
