I'm no expert on these knives but I can't see anything on those pics that's making me look closer. It's shouting fake at me.

I'd say its a early post war piece, possibly original parts which have seen alot of love and use

This is a post-war knife. The Rehwappen trademark was introduced around 1950.

Originally Carl Linder Messerfabrik, Solingen-Merscheid. After being bombed and destroyed in late 1944, the business re-opened in 1949 and the Rehwappen brand was then introduced.
