Looks like the double headed eagle to me.

Greetings. Thank you very much for your help. The story I was told is the same, an Austrian Hungarian blade used by the Germans during WW2. I am happy to be an original blade. What about this solder, is it normal?

From the factory probably not, but these were tools that saw hard use and the knife blades could be replaced. My thinking being that the solder may have been from a repair sometime in the knife's history. Best Regards, Fred

The stamping looks to me to be a two-headed Austrian (or Austin-Hungarian Empire) symbol.

Although I did not previously know Aug. Lüneberg was a distributor for WKC products, I did know them to have distributed Eickhorn products. I owned a couple of Fire bayonets that although I marked, were obviously Eickhorn products.

Hi Billy,

for example this WKC army from Tom bears its distributers mark.
