The armed forces knives were a 'limited editon', 8000 sets, so have the serial number on the bolster.

Ivars, I do know your was not a part of the original Parker set.  Still looking to see where it fit in the Imperial line though

There is also a blue 1975 knife for the Continental Navy Bicentennial. The three armed forces knives form a set. The similarity between these knives and your 1976 Bicentennial knife strongly suggest that Imperial was the maker of all the knives.  I suspect James Parker was the wholesaler and commisioned the armed forces set. The eagle was a trademark of Parker knives. I have no first-hand knowledge of all this but have pieced this together from the available evidence. Perhaps someone else will have a more definitive answer.
