Welcome to the forum, normally we don't like to see "advertising" posts in the forum sections, but its been kind of slow here so we'll make this a "learning opportunity"
The AuLion was the only maker of these knives to actually see combat in WWI.
Many of these "Knuckle duster" knives were also re-issued in WW2. A favorite of the paratroops, you will frequently see one or both of the hand guard sides to be ground down to allow a closer fit to the body.
