Like this experimental combat knife:
Any informations regarding this combat knife ? ...
Nice pieces, strange for me they used so many rivets in front of scabbard same as Made in Germany was used on BW item?? It looks more like a commerzial market designation.
Andy, why do you so often make destructive, negative comments?
These "many" rivets on the scabbard had the function and purpose that the knife could not poke through the scabbard and the pilot by firing the ejection seat due to gravity.
The stamping is also absolutely OK, you can read everything in the specialist literature! ...
Strange there is nothing destructive here mentioned, i only asked about the rivets. The CS knives ordered by army never obtained commerzial marking like made in CSR which i only asked, to sample when it was a part of LW contract contracted per civilian firm, similar stamps was normal. This was only question nothing more, You take it a little personally.
What means the "Bund"?
I only compared the marking visible on FM78 also Glock by BH pieces never occured a Made in Austria stamp which occured only on commerzial market items, this was the reason why i asked about, i am not expert about BW equipment. Anyway on some of the BW kappmesser or other knives of BW that You presented on previous threads are not stamped Made in Germany, what for period of production is that knife?

by moving in the photo directory there is evidently there is various number of various rivets on leather scabbards, the Made in Germany would speak for post 1991 production.
Andy, we are talking about a Bundeswehr knife here and not about a CSR knife, nor about a knife from the ÖBH (Austrian Armed Forces).
BUND means that this is a knife that has been adopted for use by the Bundeswehr.
For comparison, see this thread on the Bundeswehr M1963 gravity knife.
Bundeswehr gravity knife 1963 pattern
Not all edged weapons of the Bundeswehr are necessarily marked with BUND.
Best regards,
