I am german, Brittas boyfriend, born 1965. Such knives had been sold as, Fahrtenmesser ' in 1970s/ 1980s, came out of populariy during 1980s. In some long exising knife/ cutlery shops you can perhaps still find ones, if you ask the personal. In german we call an item, being unsold in a shop for many years a, Ladenhüter '- literally shopguard.

It might’ve been made after the war but it’s still old and it was made by the same company that made the originals so that’s still pretty cool to me

Hi, I have recently inherited one of these knives. It has Diamond with red speckles and gold bordered swastika. The diamond has a small slight movement when pressed. It's blade has etched in black (RZM) M7/32 ROB. MULLER SOL-MERSCHEID. Does this sound like it's real or a fake? Thank you.

Do the post war knives have any value?

Is that little pieces of tinfoil over something?

In my opinion, these two are post-war copies (probably made in China).
