   I also have the same knife.I purchased this knife back in the 1980's at a flea   
   market in Pennsylvania.It is in mint condition still in the original box and   
   wrapped in the original plastic in the box.This knife was hand made in   
   Solingen Germany.The blades    
   were all hand forged and the handle is of real stag.There were only 50 of   
   these knives ever made.I was offered 2500.00 for this knife at one time back   
   in 2006.There is one for sale on ebay right now for 1750.00.These are the only   
   3 that I have heard of    
   in 30 years of just searching out of curiosity.It took me many years to get   
   information on this unusually large and beautiful knife.   
   Nice find!   
   I hope this was helpful.......Tom
