Another pocket knife I liked that I picked up at an estate auction, and is what I believe to be WWII era one blade pocket knife. Marked D.R.G.M. on one side and Germany with a half sunburst design above it on the other. Measures 3 5/8" closed, and 6 1/2" opened. I cleaned it up a little and used Liquid Gold wood cleaner on the handles, but was in pretty good shape the way I found it. I like the combination of steel, wood, and brass.

Good information Jason. After posting I did a little research and found similar and thought pre-WWII was what I should have described it as. I saw the drgm marking on some nazi metals while searching the name.
