Very good and detailed video. A lot of work has been done on the classification of rarities! Thank you for your general acquaintance with the world of Luftwaffe knives.
My favorite video on RU-vid still! I can’t get enough. I’m looking forward to your book coming in English my friend. Also waiting for part 2! 😅 thanks again for all of the dedication and hard work you put into this topic. Everyone loves these knifes but very few truly dig this deep and understand that there are more than just a type 1 and type 2 that are legitimate wartime variants. If anyone has a knife for sale don’t hesitate to send me a message. I will buy it regardless of condition!
There is one of those in the collection that my father left me. I know this knife since i was a chiild and the story behind. it was the knife of one pilot of the Legion Condor that had an accident in Asturias Spain around 1937/38 during the Spanish Civil war .Next time I go Spain ill check it out.
Excellent video and very informative. I do have one interesting knife not covered. Takedown version with 1 spike pin, carbon steel with Stainless blade. No markings except for #203 on blade release lever. Any ideas?
Thanks again for the great video! Question on springs durability, I have seen quite a few knives with broken or repaired springs, how fragile are those, in all the years of your collecting experience have you ever broke one just by opening and closing it ? Sometimes I want to play with one I have, but kind of worrying if I’ll brake that spring.
I may have broken one half way but heard of a few collectors who broke one. Just be careful and patient when Releasing a blade. I never push a lever all the way down as it is not necessary at all.
Thank you for the video I now know that I have a Paul Weyersberg Type 1 a1 -ca. 1942 which is devoid of the rostfrei my spring is broke and is missing part of it
That is a very rare knife worth fixing! Check out my other Video. There is a guy in the US, who does it really well. Contact me using the Email shown in the other Video if you like.
Hallo , schönes Video ! Kommt der zweite Teil ( Part II ) noch ?! VG

It appears I have one on the Type II bi - ca. 1944. My father brought it back after the war. He was in the 94th Infantry. He said they found these knives at a bombed out factory and there were cases of them. I think it could of possibly been near Belgium.
Hi I recently got a gravity knife from my grandfather and I can't find one that has a blade like it does, can I send I a few pictures and maybe tell me a little bit about it, thanks
Great video! Thank you! At 2.55 min mark it is mentioned that Type 1 Weyersburg knifes have two rivets for the spike spring. I have Tipe 1 Weyersburg knife with only one rivet. What category would it go to? …..😉
Hello! Great video. I have one, mine has a the "5" stamp on the spike, nothing on the blade. Not quite sure where it falls in the rareness field. Grandfather got if from a prison camp in Germany after the war ended. He was a Red Devil paratrooper.
I thought I might have a find, but you have shown it's a post war production. Is there any value to it? It's illegal here in California. Thanks for the video
ich werde mal überlegen. Ist immer viel Arbeit, Ton und Bild zu synchronisieren. Englisch mache ich deswegen, weil deutlich mehr internationales Interesse am Thema besteht. Aber Danke für den Hinweis.
Hi, thank you i didnt know that the missing writing rostfrei is that rare, i got it today as a present, i was told that it costed around 400 euros, i was making sure that everything is ok, every marking was - unless the rostfrei, so i started to search that they are also Made from carbon steel, but didnt see example any where and now i see thanks to your video that its really True and it is more rare than i thought, and it is working! only the blade is wiggling and little bit rusty, but still it is in really good condition, i think it was worth it! Definitely nice thing to my collection:D, i dont know if you are answering to comments but can i get your email adress please and make 100% sure it is what i think it is? Thanks👍🏻😉
