Just helped my dad move and he gave me a box with different stuf i could have.

In it was this...

A SA knife

"solingen"
Carl eickhorn

Stamped WF

So its isued from westfallen division

Its unfortently not in mint condition, some of the handle are broken and the blade needs to be polished...

But a interesting piece....

You should get it valued or look on the internet for sites that sell this type of memorabilia.....there are many collectors out there.

What ever do, do not try to polish or restore it. You can totally kill the value by doing that. I can't count how many antiques have been trashed because some fool thought it would be a good idea to clean it up or refinish it.
