IMO this "Eickhorn-GLOCK´s" only were a commercial item and never were Army-issued ...
But, even GLOCK manufactured the "Feldmesser 75" and the "Feldmesser 78" as commercial´s ...
Austrian Army-issued GLOCK-knives were marked with the Austrian Bundesheer-stamp and the designation for the model, (FM 75 pattern), upon the blade !
