I agree with Marshallj that it is a US knife with US motifs carved into the scabbard.  

It is not German. Possibly private purchase American. The star and the P38 on the sheath make me think American. Kirbach might be his name. And I looked at it again and see what I believe to be U. S. sergeant stripes on the sheath.

Hello, I am interested in this knife, the seller claims it is a WW2 German Pilot knife, but I cannot find another one like it, and to me doesn't seem too German. The Sheath is marked "KIRBACH", and has a plane and a star on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Nice.  Rich A. in Pa.

I have seen the first two and enjoyed them. I will watch Max Mannus on your recommendation! 

Thanks Guys! Never really show if off.

Another group which shows Netherlands Indies service. This set is from an engineer of the Royal Dutch Navy, as can be seen by the ribbon of the officers cross.    If you see it, post it in this topic.   Regards Herman   The set below is unidentified, but a very nice example from around 1925 - 1930.   Regards Herman
