My wife sent me a few pictures from her antique store foray this morning.
There was mostly junk, perhaps these are as well but I found two of them interesting. I thought the eagle and crown were cool.
My google is weak, anyone have any information? I'll probably go get them Monday.

I don't buy to flip so not looking for any pricing info...

K killgar , I'm going to have to contradict you. Assuming that's a sword in the... coat of arms? Then the green knife may be an older pattern of Aitor Gran Capitan.

Now this information is partly from Reddit, but I've found other sources that corroborate it.

Edit: okay, not "contradict" exactly; Aitor is a Spanish company. So, I seem to have pushed my glasses up a little too far with that "well actually", and they're jammed on my nose. Gimme a minute.....

Variations of the knife I posted have been made by a variety of companies. All referred to as "Spanish Army" or "Spanish Military" pocket knives. And Aitor is a Spanish company. So if Aitor ever made the knife in the OP's picture, and if they called it a "Spanish Army knife" or "Spanish Military knife", or if it was ever issued to the Spanish Army, then I think that would make it a "Spanish Army pocket knife", just like I said.

But again, it could have been made by any number of companies.

Here's one from a Company called Sturm Mil-Tec

And here's a version from Fury (no saw)

And here's one from Albainox (no saw)

Here's one that just says "Stainless" on the blade

And for whatever it's worth, here's a pic I found on sakwiki.com of a knife described as an Aitor Gran Capitan. I'm not familiar with sakwiki.com, so I don't know how reliable that site is.
