yes it does a luftamtHello Bill,
It looks to be a nice gravity knife.
There a lot of fakes around, if I'am not mistaken original examples have a Waffen prüfungs stamp on the pin, the examples I owned in the past had.
Does yours have such a stamp on it?
Btw these weren't an exclusive tool for the Fallschirmjäger, they were issued to everyone that used a parachute, this includes airgunners, pilots,...etc.
Cheers,
Peter
Not teaching you guys to suck eggs, but did you know it was a Luftwaffe aircrew item and later issued to Fallschirmjäger.
