| Description: |
| 4'' barrel, This is an interesting example of a late war produced Type II "Take down" version of the legendary Luftwaffe German air force paratrooper knife. First produced in 1937, the FJM was issued to German flight crews and paratroops, primarily for the purpose of cutting a trapped parachutist from his rigging in case he landed with a tangled parachute or became entangled in trees with the shroud lines. The "take-down" ability allows the cross guard to be removed, and the body/sheath opens with the end ring as a hinge. The blade can then be removed for servicing, on this example, the take-down ability functions perfectly, the grip plates are of walnut with the standard four retaining rivets on each side. These plates are in good condition throughout, with a very attractive wood grain. The base of the marlinspike has an additional marking on it, indicating the manufacturer of the knife: R.B.NR. /0/0561/0019 The first number 0 is the prefix for "industry", while 0561 is the location code for Solingen, the largest and best blade producing city in Germany. From what we can tell from records, contractor 0019 is thought to be Paul Weyersberg, a well-known name in Solingen, who had produced large numbers of the Type 1 knife. The take-down version of the gravity knives is becoming extremely difficult to locate., |
