    Yet another "help me I.D. & value" thread

    What is this, where and when is it from and what is it worth?


    I loaned a dude 40 bucks and took this as collateral back in 1988. As I recall he bought a bag of reefers and a case of beer with the money. Never tried to reclaim it. Said it was his Dad's and Germanicon or some thing.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Looks like a standard postwar Germanicon Bundeswher fighting knife.
    The Handle is NOT a standard issue one though! it SHOULD be a two piece Green plastic one.
    NOT wood. Though it looks old, this MAY POSSIBLY be an early variant wooden gripped version. Though I cannot be more specific on that. I have handled many Hundereds of these.
    ALL were green plastic handled varities. Other than the wood grip, it IS a standard Bundy one.

    Thank you so much. I will see what kind of information I can dig up now that I have a direction to go in. I suppose posting any cartouches or numbers here would be beneficial for the collective.

    Over all I really like the knife. It is very well made and keeps a surprisingly sharp edge. Works well on deer at hunting season. =)

    Quite a nice knife, it may serve you better as a display piece rather than Deer knife. Steve
