A non-registered reader has e-mailed me with the following information:

'Veritable Bernard 76' is a trade mark of Besset Jarrige & Fils, a cutler based in Thiers in the centre of France and is from the late 19thC (this company was at its peak in the early years of the 20thC prior to the 1st World War). It is not actually made in Corsica, despite the style and the Corsican motifs/arms on it's grip scales.

I believe they are often refered to as 'vendetta' knives.
