Nice collection George. Those PYY's & AGV's are tough.

Mods- How about seperate threads for Bayos & Pistols ?
( When time allows, of course)

[George R.]

Thanks DW, TA nice collection, another guy with a bym code, someday.

[sherbs]

Did any of the 1944 bayonets have rivets holding on the scales? If they did was it maker specific?

[swp45]

Beautiful!

[miles136]

44 dated SGX

43/44 matching ASW

[sherbs]

I see in the pics there is a 44 asw with riveted grips. My 44 asw also has riveted grips, was this common to asw 44 bayonets? Did asw also use screws for the grips? Did any other maker use rivets?

asw became sgx ...the codes for the maker EF Horster... they used flat rivet grips in 44 as asw then as sgx and into 45 as sgx

in 1944 cvl, the code for the maker WKC, used round rivets on the grips

[sherbs]

Thanks, something to keep an eye out for.

[miles136]

[miles136]

1944 date asw with rivet grips

[miles136]

1944 cof maker

[miles136]

1944 date crs maker

[jack944]

Archie and Miles those are some killer blades. I was always too busy going after the rifles to pay much attention to the bayos. My loss as they have interesting variations.

Good post......


Miles......I look forward to owning your bayos soon after the birth of your 14th child....LMAO :laugh:

[George R.]

Miles those are some really nice blades, I never seem to find them like that. The skeleton frog is really nice.

[miles136]

...any others??? anybody know how many there are in 44?

[pzjgr]

Miles, I have an ffc 44...I would have to look up the maker...I didn't see ffc on your list...

I do have 2 matched fnj 44's...I could be talked into a trade on one of them....

[George R.]

I believe there is 17 for 1944, ffc is F. Herder a late war commercial would look good in that collection.

[miles136]

oh yeah that reminds me I need a late war commercial WKC too

[AndyB]

Very nice collection to Miles You probably need a clc44,44.cul,44ddl and bym 44 too.best regards,Andy
To turbo Archie could You provide the number of 44cvl pictured bayonet, the wood grips looks little suspicious. Thanks.

[mrfarb]

$600!!!!?!?!?

I got both of mine for less than $150. Well, 1 is WKC the other is unmarked.

[AndyB]

Hello Turbo Archie,thanks for details Yours is late k block which should be with light color wood, so maybe only dyed the grips with red color? You should compare the grips with the Arnaud bayonet side.best regards,Andy

I just think it is the photo....those grips are mint ...Ill take it TA

[AndyB]

Maybe yes maybe not, i dont like the structure of wood, is dont look like nut wood. But certainly it could be only dyed. best regards.Andy

[Turbo Archie]

The grips aren't red, they are light.

And I think the $600 was for his "grey ghost" a dark clv44 (it was nice) :thumbsup:

The WKC with late frog might have only been $500...

Both were *new*

The E F Horster late war bayonets coded asw and later sgx that are riveted will all have phenolic grip scales.

The 1944 dated cvl bayonets with rounded rivets will have wood grips. There is also a series of very late war commercial WKC marked bayonets with riveted phenolic grip scales.

My thoughts only ......

Welcome aboard Lance!
Always glad to have another knowledgeable collector joining us. I think you will find this site to be right down your alley, collecting wise...

How is the research on the K-98k cleaning kits coming?

Here is a bad picture of the 17 different makers. If I ever get a new camera, I'll try to post closeups.

Denny,

Thanks my friend for the warm welcome. You are quite correct in regard to the content of this forum. Outstanding. As is the reference book that got the forum going! Although work and other issues have impacted some of my activities, I'm still out there and collecting late war German small arms/bayonets/misc, Volkssturm, and of course the rg34 cleaning kits. And yes, still working on the rg34 reference book.

Thanks again and nice pic of the 44 dates - Lance O. Adams .....
