German WW1 fighting knife
A variety of boot knives carried over from the Great War or the 1920’s and 30’s found their way into the fields of WW2. Many of these issued or privately purchased items were passed down from father to son, or carried by the same soldiers in two world wars.
This is a smaller knife that you could carry in your boot or pocket, there is no hanging device and there never was one.
Very nice makers mark "Herder", a larger manufacturer during WW1 and WW2.
