    Description

    I'm listing this knife as a custom knife because I believe it is either a commemorative, award, or advertisemen
    t.
    HISTORY:
    I purchased this knife from an elderly Brother & Sister that said it belonged to their Father. He was a U.S. WWII veteran. He was also German. They told me that their Grandparents were German national immigrants.
    I'm not sure if this knife was passed down to their Father or what.
    RESEARCH:
    When I research the writings on the handle I come up with,-
    1. Freie Turnerschaft may be a reference to several different sports clubs in Germany.
    2. a reference town Fredersdorf, Petershagen in Germany
    3. a reference to Gymnastics (turngenossen)
    Freie is the German word for free.
    My best guess is that this knife might have been a special made commemorative or advertisement for a free Gymnastics sports club in one of the above German town(s)?
    Maybe even an award.
    DESCRIPTION:
    There is a shield with letters etched on it that look like AH maybe.
    There are 5 total pins. The corkscrew is made up of two pieces of metal forged together.
    There are no markings on either blade. They both have tiny nicks on the edges and the smaller blade's tip is
    broken.
    Total length is 9 1/2". The longer blade is 4 1/4" x 3/4", the smaller blade is 2 3/8" to the break x 3/8", and the corkscrew is 2" x 1/4".
    Both blades pull out and pop and lock into place nicely.
    I don't know if the wood was originally black or if it has discolored with age.
    It will be professionally packed, insured, and shipped via USPS priority mail.
