Can anyone help me identify my great grandfather’s pocket knife?
I’m not getting anywhere with google. To be honest it looks like a copy of a Swiss army, but did copies exist that long ago? No worries if this is too old but I thought I’d try
For what it’s worth, I’ll be keeping it no matter what. Just thought it would be cool to have some info in case anyone knows. It’s obviously beat to hell lol
VERY similar knife I found on eBay! The handle material is different, that’s about it. Looks like a “French Pradel Swiss Army Knife” according to a couple other online listings. Similar knives with that mother of pearl were dated from the 30s and 40s.

It’s French. Looks like a Pradel.
