ITEM : K401 - SMF Paratrooper Gravity Knife

 A good quality fully working gravity knife made by SMF, both the blade and spike springs are original and unbroken. The blade is very sharp and does show light sharpening and has a burnished crisp trademark intact. The walnut grip plates have a nice dark even patina to both sides with no bruises, chips or damage. Fully numbered "565" and eagle to spike as it should have.

 
Maker marked - SMF
 
SMF Gravity Knife
ITEM : K402 - SMF Paratrooper Gravity Knife

 This knife is numbered "1890" to the interior plate wall, unfortunately the blade spring and thumb release is missing although the blade drops ok. The spike is working and eagle marked, the blade has been lightly sharpened but retains the original shape and shows a clear SMF trademark. Grip plates are good and have had some work to restore the original finish.

ITEM : K403 - WEYERSBURG Paratrooper Gravity Knife

 A virtually perfect gravity knife by Weyersburg, it has full cross-grain and a crisp trademark to blade, never sharpened and becoming a rarity in this condition. One grip plate does show indentations but does not detract from the fantastic graining to the walnut. Fully numbered "85" and eagle to spike. I am always worried about releasing the blades on gravity knives for fear of the spring fault occurring as seen on so many offered today.

 Maker marked - WEYERSBURG (UNAVAILABLE)

 
ITEM : K404 - WKC M7/42 Youth Knife

 Transitional marked HJ by WKC with both RZM & Makers mark to blade, dated 1938 this knife has a crack across one grip plate but is solidly fixed, plating loss in the usual places and to cross-guard. The diamond is good, dark patches to blade and scabbard that has taken the brunt of poor storage over the years, retaining strap still functional.

 
Maker marked - WKC & RZM M7/42
 
ITEM : K405 - LOUPER Early Youth Knife

 This is an early maker marked piece by a rare maker "Louper". The blade is the early type with no ricasso and has a light motto and a crisp makers mark stamped on the reverse, also stamped " Ges Geschultz " or " Patent Pending ". The emblem is missing and has been period filled with some kind of filler. Paint and retaining strap gone from the scabbard and blade shows signs of sharpening. A rare maker with motto!.

 Maker marked - LOUPER
 
ITEM : K406 - SM Youth Knife ( Post war )

 This is an early post war production of the period HJ and hence due to its age thought it just about qualified to be listed. The blade is marked SM / 1940 with Germany on the reverse. The quillion has been broken and blade shows signs of being professionally sharpened, no scabbard. These where made for the troops returning home after the war and although dated 1940 was probably made in 1945-46 using original parts.

 
Maker marked - SM
 
ITEM : K407 - PUMA Youth Knife

 Later transitional HJ showing crisp RZM M7/27 marking to blade and dated 1939, also shows makers mark. No motto which was phased out in 1937/8. With only 30% original paint to scabbard, but with complete scabbard retaining clip and press stud intact. Missing cross-piece which was a common occurrence due to them being thrown or abused by the youth. Diamond 100%.

 
Maker marked - PUMA
