vintage ERN coat of arms knife

this 1 has the Norway coat of arms shield on the handle. made in the mid 60s I believe. it is a Wald Solingen knife. the shield symbol was used by monarchs and some government officials in Norway.

this knife is probably extremely rare. im not sure how ERN ended up making this handle for Norway, but I bet its a specially ordered product.

id been watching it for a few months and finally got it to a price that im still not very happy with. ive taken a chance on this 1 gaining value with more age. its a nice different knife that adds some real interest to my collection. im sure, itll be a very very long time before any one other than my son will even have an option to own. god willing, of course.
