Folding World War 2 SS knfe

Don’t know if real or replica. I have had it for about 40 years or so. Looked at some past auctions on real ones and have showed sales from 400 to 1200 depending on condition
 
Here you go, knife maker in Germany since mid 1800

Looks like an original German gravity knife. Nice find.
What he said. If you scored it way back in 77 it's probably the real deal. But there's tons of knockoffs of WW2 knives and almost all of them are of German/Nazi knives. There's anpther pattern of gravoty knife from that era that looks and works kinda like an OTF switchblade without a spring. Just hold it upside down and hit the side mounted button. That along with the one you have here and the fixed blade " Hitler Youth" knife are probably the most replicated.
This one you have is probably the coolest of them. Intended to be easily opened with one hand so a paratrooper can cut himself out of a jam.

I had one of these as a kid. Funny seeing the kid in JoJo Rabbit stick it in his leg.
