Puma Knife: Puma Original 6379 Bundeswehr Military (Civilian) Knife in original metal sheath & Box
This is the Puma German Miltary Bundeswehr Model Knife which was issued to German Troops in the 1980's and only sold for a short period of 1983 as a civilian version with Puma Gold Emblem and box.
Originally developed for the Bundeswehr (German military) which can be seen coming up for sale occasionally, this one is the one offered to civilians for a very limited period in 1983.
This one is in excellent to almost mint condition and comes in its original Green and Yellow Box with original cardboard sleeve.
The knife has the Gold Puma Emblem on the handle which is missing from the Military issue version.
Its history makes it a very scarce knife to find and collect especially the civilian version.
The stainless steel blade is 5 ½ " long. The original metal sheath is included, making the total length 11 inches.
Model no. 6379, made in Solingen Germany.
3/4 tang. Built-in finger guard. Lanyard hole. Handmade in Solingen, Germany in the early 1980's era
Please note the following as this narrative and the images form part of the description.
In excellent original condition with original metal sheath and leather frog and belt loop.
German-made scabbard
Date is 1980-1985 manufacture.
No cracks or chips to handle and blade is perfect unused and unsharpened condition with just some age marks which would polish out but we have left it in original un-molested condition.
There are no scabbard marks on the blade as it has never been in the scabbard.
Never carried, used or sharpened and never been in the metal scabbard.
Scabbard is again in excellent unused condition with original stud with no use showing and just a few age/storage marks with just a couple of paint chips wheich can be seen in the detailed images.
An excellent example of an original Bundeswehr military issue collector's (Civilian) knife in excellent condition and this would be the best example of this desirable knife to come through our hands.
*Please note the Yellow Base of the plastic box has a piece missing at one end which can be seen in the final image.
We also have a ceremonial version of this knife in a silver scabbard which can be seen on our website.
*The military version of this knife has been copied by the Chinese and can sometimes be seen on various internet sites so beware of fakes at original item prices.
