				 African knife / WW2 souvenir? 
 Cheers,
 
 got this knife recently.
 Story is it was brought home by a German soldier from Northern Africa.
 Any chance this is likely?
 
 Thanks in advance for any input,
 taube.

 Gents,
 
 second new blade that came in.
 Also very simple in design but robust.
