Nice knives you got
)
SMF means Solingen Metallwaffenfabrik Stoecker & Co.
They have the sitting knight on the blade.
These OFTs were made till the early sixties, in the early fifties with the wooden handle.
If it can't be taken apart, you have the variation before 1937, later these knives
were demountable. The German paratroopers got these knives till the seventies for
cutting the lanyards when they landed in bushes, trees or anywere but not on the ground.
The last of these OFTs had a dark green plastic handle.
Best,
Herbert
