need opinion on gravity knife!

[guto]

Hello all my dear members, I am rewriting this thread with more detailed pictures, after I sent private messages to some members asking for more photos so they can form their opinion. Firstly I want to thank you for the book recommendations! bought them, and they are on their way! secondly, I want to thank the kindness of everyone I messaged trying to help me! I am still unsure about this knife since I am not a specialist nor do I have experience with knives, I am developing that field of my collection still! thank you!

So, are the knives real or replicas in your opinion?

Thank you, Larry and Stevade again for kindly answering my messages!

Kindly, Guto.

Guto did you read my post # 6 in this thread of yours that I closed asking you to post each knife separately each in their own thread for a more focused study?
Your new thread here is just a repeat of the one I closed.


see this thread here > is this gravity knife real?

sorry, I just realized that, is because, to be honest since all pictures were sent like this, I don't know which pictures refer to what knife specifically. I will focus on one knife in this thread, let me delete the other photos

It appears the blade has been replaced with a post war blade from a green handled Bund gravity knife.
The blade on your knife has an indentation towards the tip of the blade which is found on the green handled knives (the front spring rests in this spot).
The plunge line on war time blades was farther back towards the weighted end of the blade. If you have a war time blade and compare the two you'll see the difference.

The handle appears to be war time. Going to say the handle was made by SMF based on the arrow style on end cap.
Hope that helps some.
