Found this knife on ebay and found it to be interesting but have never seen one like it. Wondering if anyone might know something about it?

These are complete fakes that hit the market sometime in the 1970s. They have caused a lot of confusion ever since. If you are looking for an investment...stay away. If you want a fun conversation piece, buy it for less than $50.

Sounds like another case of someone with too much money and not enough time spent doing research, I should know, I'm guilty of that too, except for the too much money part.

This is going to go great with some adolecent's SS Division of the Luftwaffe impression..

These are fake, was there a real variant of this knife? Seems like a very cool knife if there was.

No. This is a complete fantasy piece that someone dreamed up. The profusion of nazi simbols, slogans and acceptance stamps would have been a giveaway. The closest thing remotely like it would be an FJ gravity knife.
