The from you shown Herder knife scabbard is different from the the one in question.

Only the figure in up is a little bit similar.
The handle from the knife in question is from horn I think. And I also think that the ferrule at this handle is original to the knife and so it seems that the complete handle could be original.

Also the blade seems to be different, the knife in question shows a Spanish notch which isn't present by the Herder knife.

Regards,
Detlef

Hello

Of course the pod is not identical, but I have shown to exemplify that it is industrially produced. Of course the design of the voltutas and other decorations differ but if you look closely you will see that the background has the same treatment: a granulate. In addition, I have uploaded images of Herder knives, to demonstrate that there were many variations, despite a common design. As for the Spanish notch, the two knives of post number 6 have it, but smaller or insinuated. I said that it seemed to me that it was turned wood, of course I can not comment if I do not have it in my hand, and I have said that if the blade belongs to the same set, the handle may be changed, because it seems too short and thick. But it's just an opinion. Let everyone think what he wants.
