The ricasso is stamped ''POF / 69'' on the obverse face and the crosspiece ''G49 / 958'' on the same side. The Parkerized metal surfaces retain about 90% strong original finish with areas of silvering at the high edges and occasional spots of ocher here and there. The ribbed cylindrical Bakelite grip exhibits light handling marks throughout and the bayonet is in very good plus to excellent condition overall. Second, a West German military-issue Bundeswehr Kampfmesser circa 1970, 10 1/4'' overall, 5 1/2'' single-edged blade with a flat saber grind and a spear point. The ricasso is marked ''FKS / 70'' on the reverse face. The steel guard and checkered plastic grips are painted OD green. The blade exhibits a few light sharpening and handling marks, otherwise few if any blemishes; the grips exhibit a few handling dings on the obverse face and some instances of silvering paint wear on the guard. Overall the knife is in near excellent condition. The included scabbard is OD green-painted steel with an OD green leather belt hanger and rates very good plus to excellent, exhibiting light handling marks across the surfaces. Third, a Schering shirasaya-type letter opener in a plain wooden sheath flush with the handle, 10'' overall, 6 1/8'' double-edged stainless steel blade with a convex grind and a spear point. Blade, handle and scabbard all exhibit only very light handling marks and are in near excellent condition overall. Fourth, an unmarked wood-handled shirasaya-type knife, 13 1/4'' overall, 7 3/4'' single-edged slightly curved blade with a 2'' ground false edge and a clipped point. No scabbard is present.

The AKM bayonet scabbard retains about 80% original blue with some silvering at the exposed edges and light handling wear on the black rubber grip, rating very good plus to excellent overall.
