What does this mean?

Dear Jad,

Thank you for the additional images and your patience.

The presented object appears to be a German pantographic "Paratrooper" knife made in the first half of the 20th century. The blade is barely readable stamped with "Made in Germany". This folding knife was invented in the pre-WWII period and has the name paratrooper knife. It was never used or delivered to any Nazi German troops. The formula Germany indicates an production before 1945.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 30 to 60 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George
