Hi Robin,
I didn't see your comment when you originally posted it. The knife is a 1942 Victorinox knife supplied under contract to the Swiss Army and is one of the forerunners to the red Swiss Army Knives that are sold by the millions today. Apparently they were also used in Germany and found their way in to Allied hands by the end of the war and during the occupation.
I've got a number of TL-29s as well.
Derek.
