First of all, sorry if I’m posting in the wrong forum.

My wife’s grandfather died, and a dagger / knife has been found in his stuff. We would like to identify it, in order to pass the memory of it to our own children.

He served on an italian submarine at the beginning of WWII, and later in the war had connections to the resistance (he lived near the swiss border, and helped smuggle ID papers accross it). After the war he returned to civil life. His father served during WWI but we have no further information.

At first I thought the knife was Italian or Swiss and dating from WWII, but a member on another forum supposed it was rather German and dating back to WWI. He directed me to this forum, and this thread in particular: http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/imperi…ife-370751-23/

I browsed the photos on this thread and although I did not find my dagger, some of them have a strong resemblance to it.

Here are the photos:

The blade is engraved with "Robert Klaas Ohligs Solingen".

I don’t know if these clues are helpful, but that’s all I have.

Thanks for your help!
