Bayonets of Imperial Germany 1871-1918

[skeeter4206]

Not to change subjects on bayonets. But I posted pics of the attached folding knife awhile back. I think it was Ron who commented on it being a cutlery knife of some sort. I used to think it was a bayonet when I was younger. It was given to my father from his father . Its been in the family as far back as I can remember. I have looked and looked over the internet trying to find out something and I still know nothing about it. maybe someone can give some insight on it since we are talking blades.

Skeeter........do a search for 19th century folding bowie knives. Yours is unique that it doesn't fold but retracts back into the handle.
