98% mint condition and the best one we have seen. This would be the perfect knife for the Puma Collector

No chips etc in the blade and it holds its original shape, edge and writing. Just a few age marks on the blade which can be seen in the detailed images and would polish out but we have left it unmolested.

Numbered 44074, made in the 4th Qtr of 1970 and with the Puma Stainless Steel Blade and is now 53 years old and never been out of the box.

This is one of the best shaped and sized hunting knives in the Puma Stable.

Stamped on the Blade:

PUMA-HUNTERS-FRIEND GENUINE-PUMAMASTER-STEEL GERMANY 6398  

Overall length is approx 23.5cm with an original High Carbon Steel Straight blade of 12.5cm with a handle of 11cm

Nice aged Sambar Deer Antler Handle with 3 Brass Pins and Brass Bolster.

Full tang. Built-in finger guard. Lanyard hole.  Handmade in Solingen, Germany.

The knife has been left in unmolested condition for the avid Puma Collector and would polish up very well if required but is 98% mint.

NO CRACKS OR CHIPS TO STAG HANDLES

Sheath is the original item and in mint unused condition.

The knife has never been in the sheath and the matching warranty card to the knife is attached to the sheath. It has the Puma studs and stitching which are all intact 

The Original Green and Yellow box is in very good condition with a Gold Carboard Base and a Plastic Green Lid and has the correct number on the label on both the base and the lid which is PUMA 6398 HUNTER'S FRIEND

This is one of the best and most useful knives in the Puma Stable and rarely come up in this condition.

 A NICE HARD TO GET RARITY TO ADD TO THE PUMA COLLECTION AND PROBABLY THE BEST WE HAVE COME ACROSS.
