I am defenitely a non believer: there is not any historical proof of these knifes + overall quality is not what you expect from Voos or any Solinger producer in the 1930ties (just look at the fittings, the diamond, the hilt,...) + the makersmark is etched but should be stamped.

I took a look at all of the images posted here, and saw something that I missed the first time, that should have given I think most folks a clue that it�s a fake. The workmanship (or lack of same). I�m also wondering if anyone has ever actually gotten a �Certificate of Authenticity� from a dealer when he purchased one of these knives? FP
