Hello, I recently received this knife and was wondering if it was authentic military issue. I know there are a lot of reproductions on the market so I was wondering if anyone could verify mine as authentic. Blade says it’s a WKC 70. Thank you
West German Kampfmesser 68

Yes, this is an original Bundeswehr combat knife / field knife M1968 (Modell 1968).
Manufacturers known to me so far:
FKS 69
FKS 70
HSK 70
R. Klaas 69
R. Klaas 70
OFW 69
OFW 70
OFW 73
WKC 69
WKC 70
WKC 71
The M1968 is also jokingly called "Kampfmesser Stumpf" ("combat knife blunt") and "Brotzeitsäbel" ("snack saber").
Nice! Always loved these!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
