Picked up this 1940 E.u.F. Hörster bayonet recently and just noticed the Luftamp stamp on the frog.

VERY Nice. You might check the inside of the faustrieman strap. They are sometimes marked as well.
 
Nice rig ! I really like seeing things I have not observed before, and the LZA acceptance on the frog is a new revelation...
 
Looks like a nice piece, the bayonet is a nice, frog is brown which is probably correct for 1939 and LW, the faustriemen is LW for Unteroffiziere, the main part looks like light color? possible used as dress? when is unit marked inside of strap so probably service. LW Za proof on similar items is atypical, but could be real as majority of frogs are so heavy woried on backside so no visible stamps there, it could be too the frog was repaired? note the stiching inlower part.Maybe under knot is the LBA stamp? b.r.Andy
 
Thanks for adding, it looks like service Faustriemen and correct on that frog. b.r.Andy
