3rd Reich Paratrooper’s Knife by SMF – D808

This listing is for an extremely beautiful FJ knife which was manufactured by the famous Luftwaffe edged weapon producing firm of SMF. The gorgeous oak grip plates are perfectly matched, and display a nice array of dark grain flowing in each section. They are tightly riveted to the body of the knife, and void of any damage or missing material. As shown, the plating to the head, lever, and neck ring is absolutely the best. With just one light scuff on the section next to the blade entrance. Both the blade function and that of the lever, is very smooth with light pressure exerted to the spring. Additionally, the blade fully extends, lock, and retracts properly. The same for the marlin spike which is shown with the sick eagle Waffenamt stamp. Finally, the blade has been cleaned / polished at some time. And though brighter than the muted surface usually encountered, nothing has been buffed, tipped, or shortened. Additionally, you can clearly see the burnished SMF seated king trademark is still intact. There is also a little surface scaring as well that is not all that bad to speak of. A nice example of a Type 1, FJ paratrooper’s knife. $1045.00
