Unusual dagger

My father in law has a dagger that was taken by his uncle during WWII in Germany. I can't figure out the symbol. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Giving a couple of shout-outs as I have NO idea!!! @Any Jewelry, @komokwa .....I'm sure others will chime in as well...good luck!

 

i suspect a fraternal organization of a sort....on a gentleman's hunting knife...
too bad i can't see the whole thing....but it's not military..

 

Almost the only information in those pictures is that you have at least one hand and no photgraphic ability,
Place the item on a neutral background in a well lit place, show the whole thing in and out of the scabbard with close ups (in focus) of the details.

I think komokwa has pretty well nailed it alreadt in general terms.

 

boyscout knife, plastic grip, 1960s to 1970s.

 

Just want to add that the symbol is the "all seeing eye" or "eye of providence" and is a common masonic symbol, or as komo mentioned perhaps another fraternal organization.

 

Pfadfindermesser.

the other models that are called Fahrtenmesser were for the most part made after the model the HJ had; some companies even used stock parts deep into the 1950s and simply changed the emblem on the grip.
the sign has no masonic meaning.

 

"eye brand" used to be a recognized logo, and this one does look familiar to me.

 

yer soooo good !!!!!

not that we here can't sleuth out an item from dribs and drabs....
but why should we have to work so hard at it ?????????

& now that I've seen it...yes it looks like a dagger that could have been used by a military person.......

 

wonderful research work by you all.
found an interesting detail in a German forum.

Für die USA wurden bis in die 1930er Jahre die Marken Fan, Jim Bowie und El Gallo benutzt, erst nach dem 2. Weltkrieg trat „eye brand“ für Schlieper-Messer in den Vordergrund und diese Marke wurde mit Auflösung der Firma durch einen Importeur in den USA übernommen.
Aktuell wird dieses Markenzeichen von einem ehemaligen Schlieper Lieferanten weiter für die Belieferung des US-Importeurs verwendet.

short and sweet: eye in use after 1945; brand taken over by an importer after bancrupty of Schlieper: now used by an ex-supplier for delivery to US-importer.

in other remarks it's obvious that Schlieper wasn't a quality factory for one party and very good for others; got stuff made in Asia etc..
