WW1 German Deers Foot Officers Trench Fighting Knife

WW1 German Deers Foot Officers Trench Fighting Knife, good example of a traditional WW1 German trench fighting knife with the handle made from a small deer’s foot (missing the fur). Housed in the original scabbard with cloth belt loop fitting. ‘S’ type steel cross guard. Knife type blade which has gothic engraved inscription, “Mehr Sein als Scheinen“. Some staining to the blade but otherwise good example.
