Here's my own little piece of history, you'll have to excuse the slight blurriness, still getting used to this new camera...

It came from my Grandfather who was a Marine after the war, I believe he picked it up in Germany although it's quite possible that he got it from his father who served in the war. He also had a Luger but regrettably, that was lost many years ago.

According to the stamp on the blade it's Solingen steel made in 1936 by Gebrüder Grafrath, Solingen-Widden. If any detail shots are required, and if my camera plays ball, I will be happy to provide :)
