1 rare, mint/near-mint condition antique Korean War era private-purchase fighting knife available. This rare knife comes in its original leather sheath. A Sanssouci fighting knife in this condition would make a rare addition to any premium collection.
The knife is stamped on the guard 'SANSSOUCI D.R.'. The scabbard is also stamped. These knives were made by Weske Cutlery from 1946 to 1952. The blade measures 6 5/8". This knife measures 12 1/8" overall.
This U.S. Korean War Sanssouci private-purchase fighting knife and sheath is in mint/near-mint condition. The only thing keeping this knife from being described as mint instead of mint/near-mint is occasional minor carbon staining on the guard and pommel.
This rare condition Korean War Sanssouci private-purchase fighting knife deserves a home in a premium collection.
