    Any value?

    Check ebay for knives of similar value. In the 50's and sixties Soligen Germany flooded America with tens of thousands of such blades. Soligen steel was reputed to be a superior steel and just having the Soligen name gave any blade a mystical quality.. I got mine as a birthday present.
