K=1934. G=1935 is correct
You are correct waffenmeister. I completely fat fingered that one. Thanks and revised ....
"Maschinenhaus Ferlach – Kärnten, Ostmark – was the only manufacturer to use a logo with no name on their blades and scabbards in 1940."
The pictured logo is a caligraphic letter M for Maschinenhaus.Similar designation was used on prewar M1895 production.
Can anyone identify this bayonet's markings?
Hi folks, I am Steve and I'm new to your site... I've made an introduction on the home page and this is my first post with you all...
I recently acquired some WWI-2 items and one of the items is an 84/98 bayonet. However, none of the marking that I'm seeing on the item match what I am seeing in any of the archive that I've been able access. Hopefully, someone here can share their knowledge and help to identify what I have here? Sorry for the fuzzy pics!84-98_pic-2.jpg
You have there a 43asw bayonet, as there is a 3127pp range and WaA519, You should look at opposite blade near crossguard, i asume there were wood grips. b.r.Andy
