Sg.84/98 crs 41 "Tropical"

I have never actually seen an 'L' series. Slash tells me the L is inline with the serial. Sort of like clc44 serials I guess.


All of the L block pieces I have recorded have been in this format. 1295 has been post-war refurbished.

I could only confirm the excellent comments of Slash 41crs production, even i dont have confirmed the over 11000 pcs in e range and 13000 in S range.
Important is the missing of using of series letters between range e-K.

Andrej, your research has of course contributed greatly to what was written above. Thanks as always ....
 
The L series includes marked and unmarked versions, there exists a 5 digit S with both scabbard and ricasso marked, and Tr series that is not year or maker marked at all. If you count four digit Tr, that is another version. I was not aware that e block came in a 5 digit version. Yet another version. I have never actually seen an 'L' series. Slash tells me the L is inline with the serial. Sort of like clc44 serials I guess. Andy is correct about the facebook page. Name is K98k Bayonet Collectors Network. Lots of nice examples posted there.

Dug these older URLs out by going thru my attachments:

It got here today. Great piece and one where you can tell the frog is the one that was on it. It doesn't look ever removed so I'm not, but I got this pic which I think works:

Thanks Craig. I wouldn't risk damaging the frog trying to remove ....
 
I know its anecdotal but I have seen several 42 CRS Scabbards with traces of dunkelgelb and I have one that came from a vet in DAK Frog and Belt. (The blade also looks likes its been polished digging stuff out of sand, and there was sand packed in the grips) I wonder if a large lot of them were allocated south.

Lets see more photos of your bayonet, frog, buckle and belt. Start a new thread. Thanks.
