I won this knife a week ago on a popular auction site. The seller descibed this knife as German, probably made in late 1800's. It sports an 11-3/4" blade, stag handle with pinned endcap , fancy S guard and an unusal machined or filed hilt. The blade is stamped Schmidt in Marburg. Doing a search I found one other knife on a UK site that was made by this maker and it was very similar to my knife. Has anyone heard of this maker. Would you call this a Staufanger type knife. Any Info on this knife would be appreciated. Thanks
