I don't recognize it but German imports of traditional patterns were shipped to US by many companies after the war and well into the 80s. There is a guide book ( maybe Goins, but there are others ) that lists a lot of the importers. Just my five cents but with inflation really only worth two cents.
 
Ernst Lauterjung is or was the parent company of the probably more familiar Puma brand, but in earlier days they also manufactured knives under the owners name.
What you have is a German version of a Scandinavian knife, and that model was made by many Solingen cutlers.
Originally your knife used to have a functional guard, but a previous owner seems to have cut it off.
 
I had a very similar one around 60 years ago (lost it somewhere). Those were popular knives with good steel, as I recall.
 
Thank you to those of you who responded and spent time trying to help me with information.
I have come a little further through the Scandinavian track...
Will get back to you later.
 
Not the same brand, but of a Model that I have seen made by different Solingen makers. My Stag hunter made by El Toro.
