need help on some knives

[muskrat man]

I have a kissing cranes lockblade knife that I took in on trade. I know nothing about it so info would be appriciated. It has stag scales and came in a little wooden box the bolster is serialized. In gold lettering on the wood box is written "145th anniversary 1834-1979 robert klass-soligen" it has alot of colored etching on the blade. If anyone could give me an approximate value on the knife it would be appriciated. I'm guessing it was made in 1979?



now for number two. I have two WWII era i'm guessing german whittler style knives they have metal handles and are engraved with german symbols. The master blade is etched with german lettering and symbols too.

here are some pics of the german knives, i'd like to know approximate value, history, and approximate age. if possible that is.
thanks







I also have another kissing cranes thatI took in on trade, it has an odd lock on top near the blade. any info including value would be apprciated on it also.






thank you for putting up with all of my questions.
Thanks MM

One thing about the Nazi knife. There are many "reproductions" out there that look similar to yours. You might show that photo down at the Bernard Levine forum on this website. Those guys that hang out there, particularly Mr. Levine, can spot a fake or reproduction in seconds.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Good luck in your quest,
-Bob
