easterneagle87 Posted August 29, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 29, 2021 Found this little pocket knife at the bottom of a box at the flea market. Paid next to nothing for it, so it was a no brainer to bring it home. Now the question is, is it a real deal? One side says: Gefr. Husar * L 495828 The other side says: Brest / Frankfurt 1944 Tang of the main blade is marked: ?ARANTIL (?) , STAHL , IMPORT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
