Apologies, saw where this is an introduction post. I have been collecting world war 2 items for a little over a year now, I have many German pieces and am always looking. There are so many fakes out there so I am hoping this site can help make me more knowledgeable! Thank you guys for having me.
Welcome Alukea.
One of our prime goals at WRF is to help weed out the fakes! So we are happy to help out. Photos are typically not allowed in this section to prevent spam.
I suggest you start a new thread in the section linked below. Looking forward to seeing the trench knife. I have one myself.

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
