Folding Knife Info

[bnjrita]

This knife belonged to my Father-in-Law. I don't know anything about it. Can anyone give me some information on it? It has "Pattent 390224" engraved at the base of the blade, just above the guard.

I don't know if this will help or not. It looks like a folding bowie made by several German firms in the past except in dagger form. Alot of them had english language written/engraved on them, probably for export or visiting Americans or English. Maybe some firm here in America decided to use the idea and patented it?

Hubertus made a similar auto called the “Saufaenger” or “pig sticker.”

No records are available for that patent number.

Hope you can find its provenance…
