  Thanks for the presentation. A small cross guard makes sense as a longer version would get caught in clothes or equipment and poke the wearer. I've taken to collecting clones of various styles made in India or Pakistan and have one like yours but with a 7 inch blade, your shorter version (6 inches ?) would be handier. My crown jewel is a modern made genuine Boker reproduction of a 1915 pattern with both a leather belt scabbard and metal sheath with spring clip. I've read that post war many of these knives ended up as personal trophies of Allied victors and then NATO personnel stationed in W. Germany and Austria, and that stocks turned in to governments were sold as military surplus to S. American, African, and Middle Eastern forces. The Turks particularly liked these. Still something comforting to have while strolling in a crime ridden inner city tough neighborhood. Cheers.

  @@richardkluesek4301 I've just taken in a current replica of the ww2 german fighting knife complete with spring scabbard,very convincing it looks until placed next to a real example where the natural wear from being handled can be compared with the new off the shelf copy...a fighting knife will always have a place in warfare in spite of all the modern tech

  @@historicmilitaria1944 Hope you make a follow up with that. Windlass who makes the replicas claims that the metalurgy mimics the specs of the wartime originals. Top grade steel was deployed to firearms but second tier material went to things like the cutlery. A softer steel was still a useful knife or bayonet and had the advantage of being sharpned with a stone or piece of rubble in the field. I'll never test theory that but will open up lots of junk mail with mine. The Boker is real world outdoors trustworthy.

  These were also used during Market Garden. Although it seemed not to have attracted any German attention. About 2 of these have survived one is quite damaged in a private collection and one reasonable good condition in a Dutch resistance museum. The Americans also made their own a bit more like the movie prop version, but never used them. One of these is in restored condition in a Southern France located museum.
