The german commerative knife seems very well made with fine engraving, in what I would guess, aluminum scales.

The Campanile still stands today in Springfield, MA. Has a somewhat interesting history as well! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Municipal_Group8

Make sure to take precautions with the celluloid so it doesn't affect you other knives as it breaks down. Although I have the same knife and other than wear marks and color fade it hasn't cracked, shrunk or started out gassing. Some colors and styles were more stable than others.

I have the notion that aluminum was a new wonder material around WWII. I guess I'm wrong, if your 1910 is aluminum. Which is not unlikely. Par for the course, really.
