IMO, this blade pattern is not usually found on German trench knives.

The scabbard bears some similarity with German tradition, as does the cross bar, but the hilt and blade are something else. Phil's spot of the insignia may be a clue to this being a veteran's shed project, perhaps from parts of another knife.

Possibly but the wood hand grip is certainly not usual for the type and of course various hirschfanger types were made post WW2 so very difficult to date.

I see you posted the wing prop insignia.
After our esteemed member Aldo had just posted about a Assmann Totenkopf he picked up, he posted this page from the Assmann & Sohne catalog.
When I saw the image in the lower right corner, It hit me that it is the pattern on that knife you posted.
So came back to post this , But you already have the real thing posted. Yes they are a match and I would say yes it patterned after the German designed and not Yank related Prop&Wing.
But since I saved the image, I'll post it anyway!!!
Copied from Aldo's post:
I hope you don't mind Al

Al's gonna be pissed Phil!
As to the knife........ Anything "touched" and modified like a field made item will always be open to interpretation as to the who, when, where...but I would think based on the circumstantial evidence, that I'm leaning towards Mark's view. As to when? who knows.
What are the measurements. Is it similar in length to the Hirschfanger image you posted? (question directed to Mark)
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
