    hey guys first time post and i need a little help. i have just bought these 2 folding pocket knives that have nazi symbols in the handles one of the knifes in the handle it has a swastika on both sides and the other has what i believe to be the eagle that hold the swastika without the swastika. the are 9 1/4 " long with opened and a tad bit bigger than 5" when closed if anyone could help figure out if these are fake or real it would be much appreciated. i will post pics from my phone later thanks

    I'm afraid these don't fill me with confidence : my first impression is that they may be Russian fakes.....:(

    I concur, the corrosion seems to be deliberate and the inlays do not appear consistant with period pieces. The style of knife seems to be more sconsistant with 1980 flea markets than WW2 Germany.

    Ditto, these are fantasy knives.
