Found these two on a gunshow last weekend. Not mint, but both are in honest nice condition. The one made in 1939 have serialnumber 7065e, and bayonet made in 1940 have serialnumber 8643. Regards Arvid

Then you most move to Norway Unutt!. I probably saw nearly 100 S84/98 bayonets for sale at that show, and it was a small show! Most of them were probably non matching exsamples, but still. I have two tables to watch myself on this show, and miss many items because of this. Not all shows in Norway have the same amount of S84/98 bayonets, but they are always present.

Interesting! Most certain the same shipment! Could also have came in with the invasion force in april 1940. Thanks for feedback guys!

84/98s
I would be broke if I attended one show. I recently attended a show in Dallas with 1500+ tables. There were four matched 84/98s, one being the 43asw that I recently posted. There were only three or four unmatched examples. And the previous time I attended that show, there were only two unmatched examples, and zero matched examples. I was surprised to find any example that was interesting enough to buy this time.
I will be attending a show in Tulsa this week end. There will be 4200 tables of guns and other items. There are usually only 20 or so matched K98s for sale, and another 20 unmatched examples. This is just not a good location to find bayonets. eBay and craigslist are my best chances of finding examples I want.

I think the prime days soon will be over in Norway also. The Source of S84/98 bayonets is not exhaustive, but I am happy as long as I can. Happy hunting to all of you

I explained myself badly.
In the forum instead of creating a topic by bayonet, it would be nice if the members who intervene often, always present them in the same subject. Example:
In place of subject: S / 244 g ou two diamant Elite....
Read: rittmeister collection, or my bayonets collection ..
It's just a proposition

If you click on "latest started treads" on the collectors profile you can get an overwiew of his collection! But, I am agree, it is very much job when searching for something spesific in here. This site starting to get very huge!

Yes, the Elite Diamant bayonets were made by a bicycle producer. I think they still are in business!

I had not tried that trick. I went to look at mine. About 1/4 of my collection has been posted, aside from the picture of all of them grouped together. That is an interesting tool.
After I finally understood his suggestion, I would add that the bayonet year/maker should be part of the title so it can be searched. I only post examples that are special, or that I cannot find in a search, for example, 'unutt 45crs'
My original suggest was that we all add our examples when someone posts theirs. For example, this post could have been titled '40 Elite Diamant' , and then all of us post our examples. Then in the future, if we get another, it would be easy enough to add it to the thread. Eventually there would be 225 or so threads that have fairly complete compilations that would be easy to study. And this becomes the most complete record of k98 bayonets.
Just a thought.
