Really cool, looks like it's a punch-out photo?

Anyone have information, militaria etc…   related to the First Special Service force.   I have become intrigued by the Case V42, and find myself wanting to learn if there was any other equipment, uniform, etc… that was unique to this unit?

Thanks for your comments….I thought it was in good shape.  I have another that I picked up in the 70s …an Imperial dated 1974.     I am impressed about Mercury mission..Alan Shepard taking an earlier pocket knife….Thank you for the info…I didn’t know….always learning.

Welcome aboard.   My (step) grandfather was stationed in West Germany during the Cold war, I'm a mainly cold war collector as well and collect mostly everything Warsaw pact, including rarer interests like Bulgaria and Poland.

Long shot you’ll see this but R.O. Bonisteel is my grandfather on my mothers side if you have any questions I’ll answer what I can.

I'm not seeing the Yugoslav connection. Cap badge and shape of the embossing is clearly different

Is there a possibility the pistols may have been on-board equipment that went with the tanks? I think .45 cal. submachine guns were part of US tank's equipment.

I have not collected knives very long.   I am not sure I am even a collector, but I have somehow stumbled upon two Robeson USMCs.   The first one was inherited by a grandson.   His Grandfather evidently had a friend who gave him the knife.   The second was in an auction.  This knife is in very nice condition.  Now I just need to luck my way into a few other knives that I have become an admirer of   the first knife appears to have the pommel re welded.   The second is factory correct.
