Bruce, what's the target date for release?

I've been trying to figure that for years but unfortunately from that angle it's impossible to tell.

Hi Warrior, with regards to that great Marine photo, the sailor 2nd from left with the pipe was my dad's cousin's uncle (not related). His name was Carl Holl. I met him once in 1981. After his time in the Reichsmarine, he was taken into the Kriegsmarine and ultimately into the U-boat service...

You know, I believe you're right, but the statement is still true! Lol

Thanks Andy for your explanation and expertise. I was wondering about the finish and your explanation makes perfect sense. The markings and matched saabbars are what drew me to this bayonet.

No. There are no markings on the back of the frog. Have you ever seen this finish on a bayonet? I have a '39 BERG K/M with O.32782k marked c/g with the same finish on the blade. I'll get you some pics later.

Thanks Andy. What are your options on the reshaped blade and the finish which looks like phosphate?

Well at least they didn't ruin a real bayonet to make that thing!

Wouldn't surprise me if some unsuspecting, uneducated soul falls for it. As WC Fields once said, "There's a sucker born every minute!"

One more a bit sharper.

Ok fellas, I think I figured it out. Sorry, that 3rd one was a mistake.

Yeah, that's what I figured. My problem is that I'm not that savvy with these things. Somtimes I know just enough to get my tit in a wringer, but I'm working on it. Stay tuned and I hope to get you some pics soon! Regards Andy

Thanks Andy, I'll try to get pics. I've been having problems.

Sorry, that's R and not Ron. Darn auto correct!! Mod Edit: Fixed it for you.

I just got an S98/05 nA with what I believe is a police marking of, S.B.W.T.205 R the reverse cross guard and 1920 on the front. Any ideas? Regards Andyh
