Can anyone tell me anything about this collection?  My buddy aquired it when his grandfather passed and we're looking for any information on any of it?  Is there any other place I could post to find info also?  Thank you.

This would be a good place to start.  Some very knowledgeable folks in here even on the most obscure of German militaria.  Non combat issued knives and flag toppers are not something I could even begin to give a clue about.

The one with the swastika and gear is from Organization Todt, the labor organization that built fortifications or what not.

Definitely join WAF, the small knife with leather sheath looks like a Finnish Puka (Sp?) knife and the bayonets are dress bayonets.

You have a couple of flag pole toppers, one Organization Todt or maybe DAF (Deutches Arbeits Front) and one political...obviously they went on the ends of flag poles, like the kind Standart Bearers would carry...

The two bayonets are, as posted, dress bayonets...the shape of the quillon/guard tells what kind, those might be fire police, but I am not sure, don't know much about the dress bayos...

As NoMoAmmo said, the smaller knife could be Finn, or it could be a home made type fighting knife...

The other looks like a traditional German hunting knife....

None of the knives is a typical Finnish puukko.

There you have it!! I would like to find one someday that I can verify (other than ebay) that is from that time period.
