#20: Jagdkommando (Austrian SF) issued black FM81 obtained from a former Jagdkommando soldier. Round logo, stamped "Made in Austria". This would suggest that the Austrian army switched to civilian production after the military tender was filled and for SF units who could request "speciality" equipment. EUR 200

#21: Rare BFG color square logo FM81, light wear marks along the non-cutting edges of the grind. EUR 150

#22: early military production s shaped guard late sheath, blade stamped "BOH" round logo 78, excellent condition. EUR 150

#23: AES FM79B, the other original competitor for the Austrian army field knife tender, two piece sheath stamped "79B" with retaining knob and leaf spring, Knife grip plug with AES lettering. AES "Annette Eickhoff Solingen" was founded just weeks before her husband's company went bankrupt. Blank outline is so close to the Glock FM78 that they may have even been made on the same machine, but finished with different grinding geometries. Inquire/make offer for price.
