It's luftwaffe boot knife. There are 2 stamps
2 rivet boot knives are always Controversial .............but an RB number????
I've had about 20 of these, and never an RB number
Not giving me a good feeling either John.
An RB number PLUS a makers mark. The RB number was designed to replace the makers mark. I don't like the finish to the blade either. I suspect this is a Indian made fake?
Reibert is the man for fighting knives.

Some experts confirm that this knife is present at the book Patarozzi Mack LUFTWAFFE GRAVITY KNIFE. p.112 as real knife
IMHO fake, Sorry !
Best,
R.
I respect Reibert's opinion.
Hi Kotsu: I don't have that book (I should buy it) but without seeing the page in question I cannot comment.
Cheers, Ade.

Found scan from Patarozzi with this knife p.112.
One man have the same knife. It is his photo
shouldn't fighting knives have 3 screws in the grip not 2 i don't like it as everyone else has said it just doesn't look right in various ways
top one Lakesidetrader German Bayonet & Military Collectable Site is a good one
