German equipment
I tried to picture some of my belongings.
You can see the older-style "Koppel" with one of the metal-loops fixed, I've mentioned earlier. Another lies near the belt and shows the opposite side.
The bayonet is an AK-bayonet of the NVA, web straps are missing.
The other knife is the ACK (=Advanced Combat Knife), IRL intended as the new fighting knife of the Bundeswehr, prior to German reunification. The bayonet-frog (?) of the ACK is intended to be looped on the Koppel, but it has bracelets, allowing the scabbard to be fastened to older US pistol belts with eyelets. The frog clamps to the scabbard and can be removed to join knife and scabbard. They then can be used as a wire-cutter.
The Stanag-mag is from an airsoft M4 and is added to compare the size of the other items, just as the BIC-lighter is.
