Can anyone tell me if this a production knife or personal build ?
I have never seen one before and was drawn by the cool pushbutton it has .It looks like an Anton wingen 50s Shellpuller clippoint with those bolsters but looks like it's rocker activated. The scales look correct aswell but remind of bonsa scales I have seen ,just very unusual .
Hope someone can shed some light on it .

Unfortunately not Luke .
It sold for more than I could afford or risk but I really liked it ,different than the norm ,just wanted to know if its a specific german type as I have never come across one in my searches or hunting before .

Re: German unusual
I can’t be of any help, but it looks like it’s built to last several life times. Very cool old knife!

Re: German unusual
The knife is a factory variant. Same frame as the lever locks, except a button is used. Off hand, I don't remember the maker-possibly Anton Wingen.

Re: German unusual
Unique and different. At first glance I thought it was a leverlock converted to a flylock.
Re: German unusual
Thanks Bill...looked like it was production built to me ,nice to see this other variant .
Terry ...thats exactly what I thought when I first saw it ,looks a bit like my Wingen ,then you see the differences .
