I like it. I have an old Puma from my grandfather still with all the stickers. They were really nice knives and the stag was just in a different class IMO. Try to find a newer Puma with stag like that...I did, you won't :)
 
I am VERY jealous!:p

The Waidblatt is one of my Puma grail knives and to have found one in such great condition is rare. You are a lucky lad!:)

Enjoy..........Steven
 
Wow, great knife. Puma sure knew stag back then. My favorite user is a Duke from that era.
 
Really nice! I'm a big fan of the old Puma fixed blades. One of my go-to fixed blades is a Puma boot knife, in the slender green leather sheath with the metal clip.
Two thumbs up! :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Wow. That thing doesn't look over a day old. Where was that thing stored for so long that it still looks that brand-spankin' new?
 
That´s really a good work, from my homecountry... I´d like to have such one in my collection.

Perhaps I can get something like that on a fleamarket or there are still some old ones on a hunting shop a couple of kilometres ago...

But congratz to your "catch". I hope you enjoy that knife for a long time...

Kind regards
Anid
 
Really nice find. That's the "Moose", right?

They're out there. I've found a few nice knives that should have been picked up years ago, in out of the way places. Good luck in your search.
 
Gotta say, that beast is pretty unique. It looks very well made. Kinda sorta reminds me of a Roman gladius.

Nice score.....the old Puma knives are just so far head & shoulders above today's offerings it's ridiculous.
 
Beautiful blade. One of the thing's I love about Puma knives is the attention to detail on their boxing and leather sheaths. It's like opening two gifts on your birthday.
