    Following the end of WWII and the division of Germany to East and West,  A paramilitary border patrol was established in 1951 for the purpose of patroling the borders.  This patrol group was known as the Bundesgrenzshutz, or the BGS.   The allied occupation forces agreed because of the terrain, vast forests and mountains, that this patrol would be best served using German citizens familiar with the land.   This knifes specifications was agreed for use and issued,
    being armed as "light - infantry" group operating in harsh forests and mountains, with a need for a fighting knife blade.
    THERE WERE NOT MANY OF THESE KNIVES PRODUCED MAKING THEM QUITE RARE.
    CONDITION:   This knife has been in my collection for approx, 35 to 40 years, and has been wrapped in
    saran
