Have any of you ever seen one of these pictured knives? It's marked with C.C.C.P. and I'm wondering if it's an old USSR military pocket knife. Any info will be appreciated.

I don't know the knife, but the letters do match up to the former (as we knew it) U.S.S.R.

Check out the link and see what you think. :)

Looks like a bartender's knife to me, anybody agree?

Ya know Greyelm, I wondered the same thing. But then alotta knives have corkscrews on them. I'm sure there's alotta things that CCCP could stand for (other than the USSR). I just ran across it and thought it was worth asking all the AAPK experts and see what feedback I got.

My guess would be Old Russian Military.

Oh thats a "Chrysler" model 42 with black running boards.
CCCP was a secret society within Chrysler that made knives on the side during lulls in the assembly line. Reportedly this was the start of Chrysler's demise where the Gov bailed them out.

Intriguing hypothesis Hawke. ::hmm:: ::hmm:: I'm siding with Soviet military knife. No idea if it was official issue or their version of the Swiss Army Knife. Interesting nonetheless. :D s-k

You are probably right except this one does not have a "bail".
