Hi M Eley,
 
            thanks for all of your help with this knife. Im really very foind of it. I persoanlly think its 1920's or 30's......thats just my guess based on the chroming/nickeling/silvering. Unfortunatly in the pics the light black stains/pittin(not sure what to call it) dont show up  

 ....Yay! another German hunting knife for my collection......i have a little lederhosenmesser  
 
                                Mark....
