The K-98 dress bayonet was a dress version of the Combat style. It was worn by enlisted and NCO personnel. The bayonet was finished with a high-quality nickel plating, black checkered Bakelite or genuine stag grip plates and black painted scabbard. The choice of blade length was left to the purchaser, being nickel-plated short or long version. There was a red or green colored felt insert in the rifle slot and the bayonet was suspended from a black or brown leather frog.

Enlisted or NCO personnel were permitted to purchase K-98 dress bayonets with fancy etched blades. These etchings run the gamut from simple designs featuring the standard remembrance, Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit (In Memory of My Service Time), to very fancy, custom etched depictions, citing the individual's regiment, unit, and sometimes even his name. Many blade factories offered unique etch patterns. The etch work was often state of the art.

We do not see very many Emil Voos etched bayonets, so this one becomes quite desirable.

The grip plates are the black checkered variety and are in very fine condition. The rivets which retain them are the nickel-plated steel type with dressed obverse heads.

The accompanying scabbard is a very a nice, straight example. The reverse paint is in nearly Mint condition and the obverse shows just minor traces of wear.

The blade of this bayonet is the shorter type, with stepped ends and a narrow fuller. It is nice and bright throughout, showing only the most minor of age and rating very near to Mint condition. The obverse blade is etched with the seldom-seen pattern #3222, the style reserved for the Panzer Korps. The blade features the standard remembrance in the center ribbons. These ribbons are surrounded by a pattern of oak leaves. At the ricasso end there is a Wehrmacht eagle with half-opened wings and grasping a swastika. At the top is a terrific scene of a Panzer with a skull beneath the tank. The tank commander is popping out of the turret and appears to be holding a flag. The detail throughout this tank is quite good, especially to the treads and body detailing. This etch is in perfect condition expect for a small piece down from the end fleur-de-lis; it is nothing, though, and extremely minor. The reverse blade is plain and in nearly Mint condition. It is stamped with the 1935-41 Eickhorn squirrel trademark, and the original dark brown leather blade buffer is in place.

D&EBAY #34160C Army Single Etched Long Bayonet – Rich. Abr. Herder

The hilt of this Army Single Etched Long Bayonet has good plating throughout showing a little bit of usage here and there but probably would clean up a lot nicer if someone would want to tackle the task as the plating appears to be nearly 100%. The mortise button and lock work well. There is no felt in the rifle slot. The grip plates are the black checkered type and they are in perfect condition. They are retained by nickel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse. The long scabbard is straight throughout and has outstanding original black paint. This black paint virtually shows no age and still retains its factory brightness. The frog of this example is a black patent leather type. It is the quality type with a rivet in the center reverse. The frog has some mild attic crazing but overall it is still in excellent condition throughout.

The long style blade is complete with a wide fuller design. The obverse blade is plain and is completely in mint condition. The reverse blade is an outstanding example of the long open-winged eagle with swastika. In the case of this etch however the raised parts have been frosted while the reverse background matches the mint plating of the blade. This reversal process gives a very unique effect to this etch. If you have never seen this etch variety you can see it on page 222 of the Wayne Techet book. The open-winged eagle has outstanding details throughout its head and wing feathering. The bird clutches a wreath which resembles a life saving float having a mobile swastika inside. The ends of the panels have exact plant in pot type depictions. Just an outstanding design here! The original black leather washer is in place. A very desirable bayonet!

D&EBAY #34597 Early Long Dress Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn

This early Dress Bayonet was produced either at the end of the Reichswehr period of the beginning of the Third Reich period. The hilt parts still have good bright nickel plating showing a little bit of age freckling on the obverse and a little bit more on the reverse. Overall though the plating is still in pretty good shape and still is nice and bright. The mortise button and lock work well. There is no felt in the rifle slot. The grip plates are the early bake-o-lite type having very close checkering. There are some signs of a little bit of patent leather stuck in the grip plate checkering of both sides. This would have been caused by an old frog pressing against the grip plates in the heat of an attic. Most likely this could be removed if someone wanted to do it. The grip plates are retained by nickel rivets having dressed obverse heads. The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This shell has very good original black paint. The obverse paint is about 99% with just the slightest of spidering and on the reverse there is a little more spidering and a few more nicks but not bad at all. The blade is the long style and on the obverse is still in near mint condition having just a couple of age lifts in the surfaces but not bad. The reverse of the blade is also bright but there is more signs of lifting on the reverse running from the ricasso up to about the half-way point. None of this is too bad though and the blade still grades at excellent plus. The interesting part about this bayonet is the fact that it has the rarely seen stamping consisting of the large double oval trademark. This trademark contains the firm’s name and location inside, "Carl Eickhorn Solingen", and inside is a large rabbit holding a nut in his paws and having a serrated style tail. The original leather washer is gone to time. This bayonet should interest those collecting unusual trademarks.

Excellent. $235.00

D&EBAY #33838C Double Etched Infantry Long Bayonet – E. Pack

This Long Infantry Bayonet is an early example having a double etched blade. The hilt fittings have good nickel-plated finish having some usage to the surfaces but nothing bad. The hilt plating is still 100%. The mortise button and lock work well. The original green felt is still in the rifle slot. The grip plates are the black checkered type and they are in perfect condition. These plates are retained by nickel rivets and spanners being off-set as they normally are with this producer. The scabbard is straight throughout having good black finish. The paint shows a little bit of usage and minor spidering but it also still has its factory brightness and rates at about 95%. The blade of this example had a broken tip when we first acquired it. We had a tip welded onto the existing break and shaped and polished it accordingly. The evidence of the nearly applied tip shows a little bit but it is not bad. The blade of this example is the long type with wide fuller construction. The obverse features the Pack number 6 "infanterie" etch. This etch features a solider standing perpendicular ahead of the ricasso. The detail to the image is so clear you can easily see the soldier’s helmet, MP40 pistol, boots and canteen. In the center is the standard remembrance and at the end of the etch are several sprigs of oak leaves. The reverse blade has the very small branch etch as the Pack pieces always do. It has a 100% frosted background and is raised out in capital letters, "INF. REGT. 16". You can see this same etch treatment in the Techet book on page 167. This blade other than the retipping remains in mostly mint condition. The ricasso area of both sides has a little bit of lifting to the plating but it is not bad. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the small hammering Siegfried figure and he is placed above the firm’s name and location, "E. Pack & Söhne / Solingen". The original brown leather washer is in place. A very nice rarely seen bayonet here having a repaired tip but priced accordingly.

D&EBAY #33837C Short Dress Bayonet with Personalized Blade – Carl Eickhorn (Early Oval Logo)

This early Eickhorn Short Dress Bayonet has a fairly nice outside, still having 100% plating. The plating shows a little nominal age but it is not bad. The mortise button and lock are nicely in place. I don’t want to press too hard on the button as it should be soaked in oil before moving the mechanism. The original red felt is in place showing a couple of minor moth tracks but no real damage. The black checkered grip plates are in perfect condition and are retained by nickel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse. The scabbard is straight throughout having good original black paint. The paint is all there but does have a little minor age spidering in the surfaces but not bad. The original frog is the black leather type and is in excellent condition. The short blade is the style with stepped end, and narrow fuller. The original owner or a friend of his personalized this blade with some pretty nice etching. The etching has been done with acid and on the obverse is the name and rank of this enlisted man, "San.-Uffz. Hans Schmitt.". This would indicate that the original owner was a medical NCO. "Uffz" stands for "Unteroffizier". There has been a circular style etching to go around the name and rank and it is unique and nicely done. The same circular etching is also on the reverse blade where the NCOs unit and garrison town are etched, "San-Staffel Bad-Mergentheim." I don’t know whether there is enough here to do research as the name "Schmitt" is a pretty common name but you never know. Having the man’s unit and his garrison town should help some. The blade shows just the slightest of graying on the surfaces but it is not bad. The reverse also has some old age pitting which looks to have been removed near the end of the blade where the step begins. The blade overall grades at about excellent. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the trademark used from 1933 through 1935. It features double ovals which retain the firm’s name and location, "Carl Eickhorn Solingen". Inside is a seated squirrel holding a nut in his paws and having a serrated tail. The original black leather protective washer is in place. An interesting NCO bayonet here.

D&EBAY #33795 Luftwaffe Long Etched Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn

This Luftwaffe Etched Bayonet has fairly good plating to the hilt. The plating is still mostly all there but there is some hammering that shows on the reverse pommel as well as on the spine and the upper spine area. The front though is still OK. The mortise button and lock work well. The original felt is missing from the rifle slot. The grip plates are the black checkered type and fortunately the hammering did not hurt anything and these grip plates are in perfect condition. They are retained with steel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse. The scabbard is straight throughout. This scabbard has fairly good original black paint showing some usage signs and some wear to both edges. This paint is still bright and rates at about 90%. The original brown Luftwaffe frog is still connected to the scabbard. This frog is in good condition throughout having five rivet construction. Some of the stitching is giving out on the right side of the frog but this should be an easy fix. The long blade is the style with wide fuller. The blade is still bright throughout having a little bit of in and out wear and a couple of minor freckles around the obverse ricasso but it’s not bad. This blade still grades at excellent plus. The blade reverse is plain and on the obverse is the rarely seen Luftwaffe etch. At the end of the panel it features a wreath of oak leaves that have two birds flying through the wreath. This particular Luftwaffe etch motif does not appear in the 1938 catalog and we assume therefore, that the design was produced before the printing of the ’38 catalog and the new motif involved the Luftwaffe eagle with swastika used later. At any rate, these birds and wreath are highly detailed. At the bottom of the etch is a Wehrmacht eagle with swastika. The center of the etch has two ribbons with the raised standard remembrance. The ribbons are surrounded by oak leaves. This etch has near 100% of the original frosting in the backgrounds. This is a rarely seen Luftwaffe bayonet. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the logo used from 1935 through 1941. It features a seated squirrel holding a downward pointing sword. Above the animal is the word, "original" and below, "Eickhorn Solingen". The original brown leather washer is in place. A fine Luftwaffe bayonet here that can be seen in the Wayne Techet book on page 114.

D&EBAY #33783 Long Plain Dress Bayonet

This Plain Dress Bayonet has nickel plating that covers all of the hilt areas.

The original felt is missing from the rifle slot. The mortise button and lock work well. The grip plates are fine checkered bake-o-lite being in perfect condition. They are retained by nickel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse. The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This scabbard shell has fairly good original paint. The paint is showing wear at the bottom of both sides as well as some spidering, and maybe rates at about 85%. The long blade is an absolute beauty being a high quality nickel-plated type and in full mint condition. This blade is the style with wide fuller construction. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the early small double oval trademark which contains the firm’s name and location, "Carl Eickhorn Solingen". Inside is a seated squirrel grasping a nut in his paws and having a serrated tail. This trademark is from the 1933-1935 period. This is a very early bayonet. The brown leather washer is still new-like and in place. A nice basic example here.

The grip plates are black checkered Bakelite and remain in perfect condition.

The scabbard is straight throughout. The original paint is good, showing minor age and remaining about 95% intact overall. The original patent leather frog is present but needs to be restitched on one side, having split open. This frog is made with a single rivet on the reverse.

The grip plates are black checkered Bakelite. These plates remain in fine condition.

D&EBAY #43961C Short Single Etched SS Bayonet - Puma

Yes, collectors, this is one of the extremely rare original SS bayonets. The hilt shows some minor age mostly to the rear side of the pommel and a little bit to the plating of the rear crossguard and obverse crossguard but all in all the plating is still pretty good rating at about 98% The. grip plates are the black Bakelite type and they are both in perfect condition. The rivets are the steel variety with dressed heads on the obverse. The scabbard has a dent in the obverse about two-thirds of the way down. The paint is worn on the scabbard with only a minor amount remaining. There is a patent leather frog showing some attic crazing but it is still serviceable. Now to the great blade of this example. This blade is a short type with wide fuller not the usual stepped edge type. It is in brilliant condition having outstanding highest quality nickel plated surfaces. The obverse blade has a beautiful etch with 100% of the frosted backgrounds. The etch in capital letters in two lines in the center says "Für Treue Deinste / in der SS". To the right of the dedication is an open winged SS style eagle clutching a swastika and to the left is a helmet showing the national seal on the right side. The borders of the etch have floral deigns being larger on the left side than on the right side. This is one of the very few original SS bayonets that I have had the pleasure to offer. It is my feeling that this bayonet was custom ordered through the Puma fir and designed and produced accordingly. The reverse blade is also in full mint condition and the ricasso is stamped with the diamond shape having the Puma cat head above the firm's name "Puma" within the diamond and at the bottom is stamped "Solingen". The original black leather washer is in place. A very rare opportunity here to acquire what is possibly a one of a kind bayonet. What is interesting is that looking at Puma bayonets listed in the Wayne Techet book I notice that all of them are the type with wide fuller and do not have the stepped end that many manufacturers used. Although none of the etch of this bayonet is designated to Puma as I said above it can be assumed that this was a custom ordered piece.

D&EBAY #43832C Army Pioneer Etched Bayonet - Robert Klaas

This bayonet is quite something as it has a number of differences about it than we normally see but all are explainable. Apparently Klass received an an order for a pioneer etched bayonet and along with it they wanted stag grip plates. Klass wanting to sell their wares apparently contacted a blade etcher or the etched the blade themselves in the pioneer pattern and also must have contacted the Pack firm because the hilt of this bayonet is the Pack variety. The hilt is a nickel-plated style having some age to the plating but it may clean up some as there is really no plating missing. The mortise button works well and in the rifle slot there is green felt.

The stag grip plates are masterfully made and masterfully cut and installed and have very fine brown and coffee color recesses with the lighter portions of the grain having a golden tone along with the edges. The grip plates are retained by two Pack style rivets and spanners. they are the offset variety and also al of the nickel plating is still in good condition on the rivet heads. The scabbard is a fine example having excellent original paint. The paint rates about about 99%. Attached to the scabbard is a good black leather frog showing some minor crazing but still all there and serviceable. It is the type of frog with a rivet in the center of the reverse.

The blade is a short style being the type with a wide fuller. It is in perfect mint condition and bright throughout with 100% frosting lacking only on the tip where there is a little bit of the plating missing. The etch has the typical Robert Klaas style curled cross which flanks the etch and also at the top of the etch is the curled line design at top and bottom which was also only used by Klass and can be seen on the examples on page 226 and 227 of the Wayne Techet book. The etch itself is quite remarkable and is the only one I've seen to date. At the left side of the etch in two lines is the standard remembrance and at he right side it shows two pioneer solders carrying some type of a plank and they are walking over a pair of floating pontoons.The frosting is perfect and the details to the etch are extraordinary. It always amazes me how as long as I have been in this hobby I still see things I have never seen before and are original. The reverse of the blade is in mint condition and the peeling to the end does not extend to this part. The ricasso is marked with the kissing cranes trademark with the firm's name and location forming a circle around them "Robert Klaas Solingen". The original blade buffer is in place being a brown color.

A remarkable bayonet here that was apparently custom produced for a Klaas customer and completely original throughout. If you are an ardent etched blade collector this example could be on the rarest pieces in your collection.<.P>

D&EBAY #43798C Army Short Etched Bayonet with Blue Panel - Carl Eickhorn

This bayonet is a standard short model with the commonly seen #3219 etch pattern, although it is slightly different than those we typically see.

The hilt remains in excellent condition, with 100% intact nickel plating that shows little age. The grip plates are black checkered Bakelite. These plates remains in good condition, retained by steel rivets with dressed obverse heads. The mortise button and lock work well and the original red felt insert remains in the rifle slot.

The scabbard remains in good condition, with some minor age to the original paint. The black leather hanger is similarly good, being a sturdy example with a rivet sunk into the reverse.

Wrapped about the hilt is a fine NCO's troddel. This troddel is the type with cloth strapping and aluminum brocade. The stem and slide are woven aluminum brocade, fleck with green. The ball is capped with green "yarn" with aluminum speckles and has an aluminum ball stuffed with material that matches the straps.

The best part of this bayonet is the etched blade. The #3219 pattern was by far the most popular Eickhorn etch and we see them all the time. What we hardly ever see, however, is blued panel that encloses the standard remembrance. Apparently no one wanted to pay the extra pfennigs for this upgrade so very few were sold. I have one in my own collection and have seen one or two other, but that's it; these are very rare indeed. This fine blue panel remains about 99% intact and has Wehrmacht eagles at either side.

The only problem with this bayonet is that someone sharpened the blade. This damage does not extend into the obverse etching but does show around the stepped end. The reverse is slightly more compromised, but at least the etching was not marred. The reverse ricasso is etched with the 1935-41 Eickhorn Squirrel trademark and the original blade buffer is in place.

A very rarely seen bayonet here, and very desirable in spite of the sharpening.

The grip plates are standard black checkered Bakelite types. They remain in perfect condition, retained by aluminum rivets.

The scabbard is straight throughout with excellent original paint; this paint is 99% intact and still quite bright. The original patent leather frog shows crazing on both sides but remains sound.

The short blade has a wide fuller. It remains in mint condition, with a mirror-bright surface. The blade is etched with fine Klaas open-winged eagle etch. The wingspan of the bird is extremely wide, and it grasps a wreathed mobile swastika that resembles a life preserver. On either side of the wreath is the standard remembrance, and the bird is flanked the curled cruciform designs favored by the Klaas firm. The blade is marked "Geschutzt" in the frosted area around the tip of the bird's wing. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the familiar Kissing Cranes trademark of the Klass firm and the original blade washer is in place.

A very nice etched Army Bayonet here. If you're only going add a single bayonet to your collection this type is easily one of the most desirable.

This bayonet is in untouched condition and has not been cleaned. The nickel plating to the hilt mounts to be all still there and in good shape. The mortise button and blade lock work well and the original red felt is still in the rifle slot. The black checkered Bakelite grip plates are perfect and are retained by steel rivets with dresses heads on the obverse. The scabbard is in good condition, having fine original paint which is slightly dull but all there and would clean up with little effort. Attached to the scabbard is a fine heavy duty black carrying frog. It is stamped on the reverse and much of the stamping is difficult to see but it is possible to see that it is marked" SS" and also "1935". The frog is the style with four rivets.

D&EBAY #30621C Dress Long Bayonet - Alcoso

This dress bayonet has very good original nickel plating. In fact the plating is nice and bright and still is in near mint condition throughout. There is only the slightest of age in the surfaces and there is a little bit of tap tapping on the backstrap area slightly down from the rifle slot. The owner of this bayonet must have been in charge of putting posters up for his regiment as these definitely look to be period marks, not something a veteran would have made as the markings are mostly confined to the small spine area not the grip plates. The mortise button and lock work well. There is dark green felt in the rifle slot. It would be hard for me to imagine that this is the original felt because of the hammer work here, but perhaps it is.

The grip plates are the traditional checkered black bake-o-lite. They are retained by nickel-plated steel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse. The scabbard is straight throughout. This scabbard shows pretty good paint on the reverse whereas on the obverse it has quite a bit of spidering and shows age. Overall this paint is about 65-70%. The frog is a black patent leather type having the usual attic crazing in the surfaces but it is still serviceable. This frog is the deluxe variety having a single rivet in the reverse.

The blade of this example is really nice. It is the long variety having wide fuller construction. It is plated with high quality nickel and easily rates in full mint condition. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the scales trademark having the letters, "ACS" interspersed. In an arch form over the scales is the block lettered name of the firm "Alcoso" and beneath the location "Solingen". The original brown leather washer is in place.

A nice, sound example here.

D&EBAY #39825 Short Luftwaffe Bayonet with Rare Etch Pattern - Carl Eickhorn

It is a pleasure to offer this rare bayonet etch, being the Eickhorn etch pattern #3231. This pattern was produced after the war started, so we see few of these. This bayonet etch can be seen in the Wayne Techet book on Page 116. Wayne describes this bayonet etch type as being very rare.

The hilt is in good condition, featuring excellent nickel plating. The plating is 100%, but shows some mild usage. There is also a light numeral scratching on the reverse pommel area that appears to read, "SZE513". I do not know the purpose of these letter/numbers. The grip plates are the usual black checkered Bakelite. They are in excellent condition and are retained with steel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse.

The scabbard is straight throughout, but the paint was a mess when we acquired the bayonet. So, we repainted the scabbard and it now looks excellent. There is a fine brown leather frog, being a quality type, having a single rivet in the reverse.

The blade is the short style, having the stepped end configuration. The obverse features the ribbon-enclosed standard remembrance surrounded by oak leaves. At the end side of the etch is a detailed wreath of oak leaves. Inside the wreath is a Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika in his talons. The bird flies to the viewer's right. At the ricasso end of the etch is a choice "storch" style airplane flying through clouds and positioned over a small village complete with houses, church and trees. The detail to the plane is terrific, showing the cockpit with pilot and even a small swastika on the tail. It is a mastery of acid-etch work. The frosting behind the etch is all there, except for a little thinning in the end area - it is not bad, though. The reverse blade is completely mint. It is stamped with the 1935-41 Eickhorn trademark. The original leather blade buffer is in place.

If you are an etched blade collector or a Luftwaffe specialist, this is a very rare bayonet and would add much interest to your presentation.

This Army Bayonet is of earliest vintage and although it shows age it would clean up nicely, should the next owner be inclined to do so. The hilt plating is intact but has not been cleaned in decades. The mortise button and lock work well, but the felt is missing from the rifle slot.

A good example here for the new collector.

D&EBAY #40543C NS Organization Single Etched Bayonet - Carl Eickhorn

This bayonet appears to be unissued as it is in fully mint condition. The nickel plating on the hilt is the best you will see, still having a factory shine. The mortise button and lock work well, and there is no felt in the rifle slot.

The grip plates are the standard black checkered Bakelite type. They are retained by nickel plated rivets with dressed obverse heads, each with all of the original plating.

The scabbard is totally straight and has beautiful original black paint with a fine sheen. Other than a couple of tiny marks not he reverse this paint is in perfect condition.

The blade of this bayonet is stone mint. It is the stepped variety, with a narrow fuller. The obverse is etched with the slogan "Ehre Kraft Freiheit", or "Honor, Power, Freedom". This slogan is thought to have NS educational organizations. It is believed that a quantity of these bayonets were ordered for distibution to students. They normally are seen produced by Eickhorn, but I have also seen a few from Henckels.

The reverse ricasso of the blade is stamped with the 1935-41 Eickhorn Squirrel trademark, and the original new-like black leather washer is in place. A piece identical to this one can be seen in the Techet bayonet book on page 123.

If you are looking for a fairly rare bayonet in tip-top condition to add some glitter to your etched bayonet collection, this piece will serve you well.

D&EBAY #34162C Army Double Etched Long Infantry Bayonet

The hilt plating of this bayonet is in perfect condition still remaining in a near full mint state. The mortise button and lock work well. The original red felt is still in the slot having only a couple of moth tracks but no holes.

The grip plates are the black checkered Bakelite type and they are in fine condition. They are retained by aluminum rivets having dressed heads on the obverse.

The scabbard is straight throughout. This scabbard has all original paint which is still at 100%. There are a couple of age spider marks in the paint but they are hardly noticeable. This scabbard paint easily rates in near mint condition.

There is a K-98 style frog on this scabbard. The frog has fairly smooth black leather and is retained by four rivets. The leather is marked on the back with a property number, "RBN0/1001/0045". The frog is also equipped with a brown retainer loop and boss for keeping the bayonet in place while exercising or perhaps riding a horse.

Attached to the bayonet is a fine enlisted man’s troddel. This troddel is produced of textured off-white or gray silk having a slide of blue and a stem of dark yellow color. The acorn cap is blue with yarn-like gray bottom. The stuffing matches the strapping. This knot appears to have been on the frog a long time but there is no fraying.

The long blade has a wide fuller construction. Etched on the obverse in the center panel is a standard two line remembrance. At the left of this remembrance is a helmet with details so good you can see the national insignia. To the right of the remembrance is a stubby open-winged eagle which clutches a swastika within a plain wreath. Both ends of this etch have the interesting "clover leaf" style design that we see on the clip of the chained SS dagger. You can see this same etch in the Wayne Techet book on page 27.

The reverse has the same clover leaf designs flanking the dedication. Raised out in one line is, "Bei der 14, Komp, Infant, Regt, 106". Obviously, this enlisted man was part of the 14th Company Infantry Regiment 106. Both sides of this blade are in choice mint condition with 100% frosting behind the etches. It is interesting to note that the reverse ricasso is stamped with the "Kissing Cranes" trademark of the Robert Klaas firm. Above the birds is the stamped name of a distributor, "Hommel". The original black leather blade buffer is in place.

A nice interesting example here.

D&EBAY #33009C Luftwaffe Flak Regiment Double Etched Long Bayonet – M. Dieschunti (E. Pack)

This Luftwaffe FLAK Regiment Bayonet is ultra rare, being only the second or third example I have seen over the years. The bayonet is listed in the Pack catalog as "NR. 3 Flugabwehr". This design can be seen in the Techet bayonet book on page 142, but Wayne does not have an example of this rare bayonet shown.

First off, the hilt is still in excellent condition. It has 100% nickel finish throughout which is still nice and bright showing very little age. The mortise button and lock work well and the felt is missing from the rifle slot. The grip plates are the black celluloid having good close checkering. These plates are retained by the off-set rivet and spanner construction being a unique assembly method used only by E. Pack. There is a minor hit to the underside backstrap which also extends to the edge of the grip plate slightly. This is not a big deal and does not show unless the bayonet is turned bottom side up.

The scabbard for this example is also a fine one being straight throughout and a long variety. It has outstanding original black paint which shows a couple of carrying scratches on the obverse and reverse but overall this scabbard is at least 98%.

The blade of this example, though, is where its at. Unfortunately, when we received this bayonet about an inch and a half of the tip had been cut off. Since the bayonet was so rare we though that it would be proper to do what we can to retip this item. We formed and ground a fine new tip which came out quite well. Fortunately though the process did not affect the etches on this outstanding blade.

The obverse has a very large panel which is frosted in the background with 100% of the frosting. At the ricasso area beginning point is a highly detailed 88 gun which is pointed straight up in the air. The details to the gun are fantastic throughout. There are a couple of branch-like growing plants stationed around the Flak gun. The end of the etch features a small circle which contains three biplanes which are flying overhead. The 88 gun is pointed directly at these three biplanes. The detail is also outstanding to the planes although they show no markings. This is all indicative of an early product here probably produced about 1935. In the center of the etch in very large raised out capital letters is the standard remembrance, ZUR ERINNERUNG / AN MEINE DIENSTZEIT". It is interesting to note that the ending barrel of the gun slightly penetrates the letter, "G" in the word erinnerung. This blade remains in mint condition other than the retipped area. The reverse blade in the wide fuller area has an additional small frosted area with the raised out branch designation also in capital letters, "FLAK REGT. 22". There are some scratches that are fairly deep toward the end area which apparently was done by the person that originally mangled the tip of this bayonet. They are not bad however.

The ricasso has the name of a Berlin distributor, "M. DIESCHUNTI / BRANDENBURG. H.". Obviously this was a retail shop that sold the bayonet for the E. Pack company. The original brown leather blade buffer is in place.

An outstanding example here which rarely is offered on the marketplace. If the tip were original I have no doubt that this bayonet would approach the $3,500.00 mark. It is priced accordingly and because of its rarity is certainly a worthy addition to any serious etched bayonet collector’s assemblage.

D&EBAY #31974 Single Etched Short Bayonet - F.W. Höller

The grip plates are the black Bakelite type, with good checkering. They are retained by nickel plated steel rivets, having dressed heads.

The scabbard is straight throughout. This scabbard has quite a bit wear to the paint, and only about 30% of the original black paint is in place. This scabbard would be a good candidate for repainting, as it is in good shape otherwise.

The blade is the stepped variety, having narrow fuller design. It is etched on the obverse with the Höller pattern number "ES 102". The etch can be seen in the Wayne Techet book on page 174, lower. This blade is in near full mint condition, having only a little bit of in-and-out marks near the tip area. The panel has outstanding frosted backgrounds and features the standard remembrance in two lines on the obverse. The remembrance is flanked with oak leaf sprigs and also with two Wehrmacht half-closed winged eagles clutching mobile swastikas. The detail is outstanding to this etch. The ricasso obverse is stamped with the double ovals of this company. Inside is the firm’s name and location, "F.W. Höller, Solingen", and in the center is the Thermometer trademark having too many digits to ever count... or 20 on each side if you are the curious sort. The reverse blade is plain and the original brown leather washer has gone to time.

A nice blade here.

D&EBAY #32516C Single Etched Short Bayonet - F.W. Höller

The trademark is stamped into the obverse, being a double oval type. Inside is the firm’s name and location, "F.W. Höller, Solingen". In the center is the Höller Thermometer trademark, having too many digits (40) to count.

This exact blade etch can be seen in the Wayne Techet bayonet book on page 174. The original blade buffer is in place.

A good etched bayonet here that will clean up to near mint.

The long style blade has a wide fuller design. The obverse etch is most impressive having a wide open-winged eagle which stretches nearly 3 ¼ inches. This bird is really impressive! The bird is an Art Deco style design having an interesting "bull" style head, close checkered breast and relatively small wreath with swastika. The wings are made in a plain unembellished style with almost straight edges. The bird is highlighted by sprigs of oak leaf which flow around the frosted design. This blade is in mint condition and really looks good. This design is shown in the Pack catalog as being, "NR.1 neutral". There is a good shot of an identical blade in the Wayne Techet book on page 147, upper. The reverse of the blade is stamped with the small hammering Siegfried figure with the firm’s name and city location below, "E. Pack And Söhne / Solingen". The original leather washer is in place.

A very fine bayonet here which would really look great displayed on a cradle out of the scabbard.

D&EBAY #39825 Short Luftwaffe Bayonet with Rare Etch Pattern - Carl Eickhorn

It is a pleasure to offer this rare bayonet etch, being the Eickhorn etch pattern #3231. This pattern was produced after the war started, so we see few of these. This bayonet etch can be seen in the Wayne Techet book on Page 116. Wayne describes this bayonet etch type as being very rare.

The hilt is in good condition, featuring excellent nickel plating. The plating is 100%, but shows some mild usage. There is also a light numeral scratching on the reverse pommel area that appears to read, "SZE513". I do not know the purpose of these letter/numbers. The grip plates are the usual black checkered Bakelite. They are in excellent condition and are retained with steel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse.

The scabbard is straight throughout, but the paint was a mess when we acquired the bayonet. So, we repainted the scabbard and it now looks excellent. There is a fine brown leather frog, being a quality type, having a single rivet in the reverse.

The blade is the short style, having the stepped end configuration. The obverse features the ribbon-enclosed standard remembrance surrounded by oak leaves. At the end side of the etch is a detailed wreath of oak leaves. Inside the wreath is a Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika in his talons. The bird flies to the viewer's right. At the ricasso end of the etch is a choice "storch" style airplane flying through clouds and positioned over a small village complete with houses, church and trees. The detail to the plane is terrific, showing the cockpit with pilot and even a small swastika on the tail. It is a mastery of acid-etch work. The frosting behind the etch is all there, except for a little thinning in the end area - it is not bad, though. The reverse blade is completely mint. It is stamped with the 1935-41 Eickhorn trademark. The original leather blade buffer is in place.

If you are an etched blade collector or a Luftwaffe specialist, this is a very rare bayonet and would add much interest to your presentation.

The hilt is in terrific condition, with 100% of the original nickel-plated finish which is mirror bright. The pommel eagle has an unusual beak, jutting out further than most and with a distinct curve from the brow to the start of the beak. It’s a really unique look. The mortise button is a faux type.

The grip plates are the early checkered Bakelite type. They are in perfect condition, retained by nickel rivets with dressed heads on both sides.

The very long scabbard is a beauty, being totally straight and perfect throughout. Instead of black paint this scabbard has an outstanding blued finish that remains 100% intact, which is a rare sight indeed. The throat is copper plated which gives a nice look against the blued finish.

The scabbard is equipped with a black frog. This frog has a boss and a retainer loop at the upper area.

The unique blade is 16 inches long and is the style with a wide fuller. This blade has a bight, nickel-plated finish and in full mint condition. It is unmarked and has no blade washer; I don’t know if it was made this way, but it is what it is.

The scabbard is straight throughout, with fairly good original black paint. This paint shows some age in the surfaces but is basically intact.

Attached to the scabbard is a patent leather frog. This frog shows quite a bit of attic crazing but remains serviceable. It has a backing of green felt that shows signs of wear and minor mothing. This frog is of five rivet construction.

Attached to the frog is the original troddel. Unfortunately this troddel was just about worn to death, with the strapping being completely frayed and the red colors missing from the wooden based slide and stem. The red cap remains on the grey lower ball, the ball having an insert that would have matched the strapping had it been in better shape. The next owner may want to remove this troddel as it doesn’t do much to improve the looks of the piece, but I have left it in place for authenticities sake.

The blade is the long style with a wide fuller, in mint condition. The obverse has a center panel etched with the standard remembrance, as well as "...beim Panzer Regt. 1 / Eferfurt". To the left of the four line dedication is a helmet with a visible National Insignia, and on the right is an open-winged Army eagle, looking to the viewer’s left and clutching a wreathed swastika. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the excellent Kissing Cranes trademark of the Klass firm, and the original black leather blade washer is in place.

A rather exciting bayonet here, and in choice condition. If you are a Panzer guy this would make a very fine addition to your collection.

D&EBAY #26611 Stag Gripped Long Bladed with Etched Personalization

This fine looking Bayonet has been plated in the later-seen chrome finish. The chrome finish has a slightly lighter color tone to it than the nickel, but the practiced eye will easily see it. This finish is still in perfect condition throughout. The mortise button and lock work well. The original felt is missing from the blade slot.

The grip plates of this example are extremely pretty. They are a fine stag, having attractive brown and tan grains with golden edges. These grip plates were cut and fit by a master. They are retained by brass rivets which have dressed heads on both sides.

The scabbard has its original black paint and it is nice and straight throughout. The paint is in good condition, having a few wearing signs, but it easily rates at about 95%. There are also signs in the paint where a once present frog rubbed a little of the surface.

The long style blade is the type which has a wide fuller. This blade also has a chrome plated finish. It is my guess that this chrome finish could have been ordered as an extra feature, since this man had his blade personalized. The personalization is very similar to the type which is shown in the Wayne Techet book on Page 255.

The man's name is beautifully etched into the center of the blade and the backgrounds have been gilded. Flanking the name are some fancy scroll work which extends under the name also. The name written in script is “Helmut Bür”. The detail to the lettering is exquisite and this is really quite a nice looking bayonet. It is possible that this name could be researched, although, since he was an enlisted man, it is a lot tougher than finding an officer who would normally be on the Luftwaffe rank list. The blade is in near full mint condition and has been protected by an in-place, brown leather buffer.

A very fine example here, and bayonets with this type of personalization are quite rarely seen.

Near Mint. $750.00

D&EBAY #38701 Short Army Dress Bayonet – C. Gustav Spitzer

This Army Dress Bayonet is in superb condition. It has outstanding, new-like nickel-plating on the hilt. There is only one or two minor scratches and just the slightest bit of peel in the vicinity of the lock.

The grip plates on this bayonet are the standard black checkered type and are in perfect condition. They are retained by nickel-plated rivets with dressed obverse heads. All of the plating is intact on these rivet heads.

The scabbard is also a nice example, being straight throughout. There is a little bit of age crazing on the obverse and reverse but overall the paint is still very good.

The short blade is the type with a wide fuller. It has highest quality nickel plating and is in completely mint condition. It is marked on the reverse with wonderful Prancing Lion trademark of the Spitzer firm, complete with a protruding tongue. The original, in-place brown leather blade buffer is new-like.

A very fine bayonet here that looks in virtually unissued condition.

Mint Minus. $295.00

The grip plates are the black checkered Bakelite variety. They are retained by nickel rivets with dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard shell is straight throughout and has fairly good original paint. This paint shows some age spidering and signs of wear on both sides, rating at about 09% intact.

The scabbard is fitted out with a blacl leather frog. It is in good condition, with just a few scuffs.

Attached to the frog is an Army NCO's troddel. This troddel has cloth strapping with triple lines of bullion on both edges. The slide and stem are of green bullion with a "V" weave. The cap and ball are also of bullion, and the inset matches the strapping. This portepee is in excellent condition, showing age but without any fray.

The short, double etched blade is the type with a stepped end. The obverse blade is has a common Höller etch; two Wehrmacht eagles flanking the standard remembrance. The reverse is etched with an artillery crew and a machine gun nest. There is a single eagle on the left. The etches are extremely clear and all of the details are present. The obverse ricasso bears the Höller Thermometer logo, and a new-like brown leather blade washer is in place.

A nice bayonet here, with an uncommon etch.

Excellent. $1,295.00

D&EBAY #38193C Short Luftwaffe Etched Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn

This Luftwaffe Etched Bayonet has one of the rarest etch patterns you will ever see, #3231. This is only the second or third I've ever had of this type in many years.

The hilt of this example is in an untouched state, not appearing to have been cleaned since the war, There are traces of mild age in the quillon area and some flaking in the plating on the reverse pommel edge and lock. Nothing bad, however.

The grip plates are the black checkered Bakelite type, in perfect shape and retained by steel rivets with dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard is in perfect condition, being nice and straight and with 100% intact paint. This original paint is still new-like, with no flaws at all. The original frog is a brown leather type which has not deteriorated, the leather still being supple and in near mint condition.

The short blade of this bayonet is in fully mint condition, being completely bright throughout. This rarely seen pattern features the standard remembrance, placed within two ribbons in the center and surrounded by oak leaves. At the top portion there is a wreath of oak leaves and a finely etched Luftwaffe eagle and swastika. The detailing to this bird is extraordinary.

At the bottom is the etch we almost never get to see. It is a small reconnaissance plane with good detailing to the wings, cockpit and landing gear. The rudder is also etched with a very tiny swastika, entirely intact. The plane is surrounded by clouds and looks to be flying over a small village, complete with a church steeple. A set of oak leaves separate the village from the ricasso.

The reverse ricasso is stamped with the 1935-41 Eickhorn Squirrel trademark and the original blade washer is in place.

If you are an etched bayonet collector this is the piece you could look for for many years and never find; a wonderful bayonet and a rare opportunity!

D&EBAY #38194C Long Luftwaffe Etched Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn

This Luftwaffe Etched Bayonet is one of the very rarely seen patterns featuring the two gulls on the upper portion of the etch.

The nickel-plated surface of this piece is not very good. It is missing almost entirely on the reverse pommel and has bare spots on quillon. The original red felt is still in the rifle slot.

The grip plates are in excellent condition, being of black checkered Bakelite. They are retained by steel rivets with dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard is straight throughout and has very good paint; it is nearly mint on the obverse and has only a few signs of wear on the reverse. The paint retains good brightness.

The accompanying frog is a fine patent leather example which has experienced little crazing. The surfaces are still shiny, and the reverse is covered in a gray fabric that would have matched a Luftwaffe uniform. This felt is still in good condition, showing little wear.

The blade is the long style with wide fuller construction. This blade is in mint condition, a features the standard remembrance set in two ribbons, surrounded by oak leaves, in the center. At the lower portion is a Wehrmacht eagle with closed wings and clutching a swastika. At the top is a wreath of oak leaves which has a large gull in the center with a smaller gull above. This etch pattern is not listed in the 1938 Eickhorn catalog, apparently being made before this time. Perhaps a lack of sales did not justify its continued production. In any case it is a very rarely seen pattern and certainly very desirable to the etched bayonet collector. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the familiar 1935-41 Eickhorn Squirrel trademark and the original blade buffer is in place.

A very rare pattern here. It's a shame the hilt is not better but the piece has been priced accordingly.

D&EBAY #38013 Long Double Etched Infantry Bayonet – E. & F. Hörster

This Hörster example is a very fine piece. The hilt has 100% of the original nickel plating and has not been cleaned. The mortise button and lock work well, but the original felt is missing from the rifle slot.

The black checkered Bakelite grips are in perfect condition and are retained by steel rivets with dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard is a fine, straight example with nearly 100% of the original paint. This paint shows only the most minor traces of age and would clean up well. The lug is the short style used by Hörster, the same as those seen on NPEA Student Daggers produced by Burgsmüller. The lug even has the number stamping that appears on both types of pieces.

The long blade, despite the fact that it marked with Hörster's name, is actually a pattern produced by the WKC firm. The obverse etch features an open-winged eagle in the center with a wreathed swastika. On either side of the eagle is the standard remembrance. The etch is surrounded by oak leaves. The blade is in full mint condition on both sides, with wide fuller construction. The background frosting is easily 100%. The reverse of the blade blade reads "41. Inftra. Regt. Amberg / Barer. Ostmark". Apparently this area was used as a training center and a transport hub.

A great double etched bayonet here, for a reasonable price.

D&EBAY #37847C Single Etched Long Artillery Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn

The grip plates are the standard checkered type, in perfect condition and retained by steel rivets with dressed obverse heads.

At the bottom is a Wehrmacht eagle and swastika, and at the top a wreath of laurel leaves with berries. Inside the wreath is a detailed cannon. This etch is quite difficult to come by.

D&EBAY #37870C Plain Short Bayonet – E. Pack

D&EBAY #37867C Stag Gripped Short Bayonet – Rich Abr Herder

This Herder Short Bayonet has really good nickel plating across the surfaces. Unfortunately someone mistook the pommel for a hammer; it has some nicks and dings on both sides as well as on the edges of the rifle slot. Despite the bludgeoning the mortise button and lock work well. Apparently the felt rifle slot insert must have flown out when the original owner was abusing his bayonet as it is missing.

The grip plates are a fine stag, masterfully cut and quite beautiful. These plates are retained by nickel rivets with dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard is in outstanding condition. This scabbard has 100% of the original paint, and only shows the most mild of attic crazing.

The hilt of this bayonet still has excellent plating, being at 100%. There are some small signs of age in the plate, but it is still intact throughout. The mortise button and lock work well, and there is no felt in the rifle slot.

The grip plates are the standard black checkered type. The plates are held by offset rivets with spanner nuts, as we usually see on a Pack-produced bayonet. The rivets also still have their nickel-plating.

The scabbard shell is straight throughout. The paint on this shell shows age and is slightly dull; a little deft work with some wax would probably clean this scabbard up some.

The short blade is still mostly bright throughout, showing only a little bit of minor age in the surfaces. The blade is the style with a narrow fuller and stepped edges. It is etched with the rarely seen and very desirable pattern #4, "Fleiger". This pattern depicts the standard remembrance in tow lines in the center of the blade, with oak leaves and acorns at the end. At the beginning of the pattern is a Storch airplane resting on a tarmac. The details to the plane are fantastic, showing the pilot in the cockpit along with a swastika on the tail, an Iron Cross and the designation "C31" on the fuselage. The cylinders on the engine as well as the propeller have fine details, as well as the antenna wires along the top surface of the wings. There is also an Iron Cross on the bottom of the wing. Just a great sight here, being identical to the example show in the Wayne Techet book on page 151.

The reverse of the blade is plain, while the ricasso has the familiar hammering Siegfried figure logo of the E. Pack firm. The original black blade buffer is in position.

This is one of the rarest of the Luftwaffe etched patterns, and is a key piece to any advanced etched bayonet collection; a good opportunity here to acquire a rarely seen bayonet.

D&EBAY #37031 Single Etched Long Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn

This bayonet has a fine hilt with 100% of the original nickel plating intact; it shows very little wear. There are some "tap-taps" on the rifle slot side of the hilt and backstrap, but it is otherwise in fine condition and these marks do not show from the obverse or reverse. The mortise button and lock function well, and there is no felt in the rifle slot.

The grip plates are in excellent condition, with good black checkered surfaces and retained by dressed steel rivets.

The scabbard is straight throughout, with good original paint. This paint shows some mild crazing on the obverse and reverse, but overall is about 95% intact.

D&EBAY #37032 Single Etched Long Bayonet

This bayonet has good hilt plating, nearly perfect on the obverse and with just a bit of damage to the reverse but nothing threatening. The plating is still bright throughout. The mortise button and lock function well, and the rifle slot has a green felt insert. This is kind of an odd color, and I'm not sure if this felt is original to the piece; perhaps a collector put it there to doll it up a bit. At any rate if you don't like it you can just take it out and throw it away.

The grip plates are of finely checkered black Bakelite. The checkering is in excellent condition throughout. The plates are retained by nickel-plated rivets with dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard is straight throughout. It has fairly good original black paint. There is quite a bit of crazing on both sides, but I'm sure the application of some wax and elbow grease would help it out a lot.

The scabbard is equipped with a patent leather frog that is afflicted with attic crazing on both sides, but is still serviceable. The frog is the style with a single rivet in the reverse.

The best part of this blade is the most stimulating blade. This long blade has the very desirable large, open-winged eagle etch pattern. Although the blade is not marked, most collectors are of the opinion these blades were made by Robert Klass. The Wayne Techet book shows a Klass eagle on page 225 which is almost identical to this example.

The eagle was very wide open wings and looks to the left. It clutches a wreath which looks like a life preserver with a mobile swastika inside. The standard remembrance is in a single line below on either side of the wreath. This piece differs from the Klass piece shown in the Techet book in that there are oak leaves that follow both ends of the eagles wings. There are no oak leaves on the example shown in the book. The end designs on the etch are that of a great looking Wotan's Knot. This blade is full Mint condition on both sides. At the top of the etch there is also the protected patent mark, "Gesch Geschutz". The original black blade washer is in place.

A terrific bayonet here that is a must for the dedicated collector.

D&EBAY #37012C Early Plain Long Bayonet – E. & F. Hörster

This bayonet is a very early example, probably from the late Wiemar time or perhaps from the early Reich.

The hilt is of highest quality. The plating is in extremely nice condition, easily 100% intact and still factory bright. The mortise button and lock function well, and the rifle slot contains no felt insert.

The grip plates are the early Bakelite type, having very crisp checkering. They are retained by nickel rivets with dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard is straight throughout, with good, original black paint. This paint has some mild attic crazing on both facings, but would clean up nicely with a touch of wax and some mild effort.

There is a fine brown frog attached which appears to be original to this piece. It is of quality leather and is nicely textured, having the look of pigskin. The brown leather could indicate that this bayonet was carried by a Luftwaffe man, or also it could be attributed to a member of the police.

The long blade is as nice as you will see. It has a wide fuller, and a mirror-bright, finest quality nickel-plated finish. It is in Mint condition. It is marked with the early Hörster trademark; a large "H" and a smaller "H" and "S" inside, the whole array being pierced by a sword. This mark was used without the double ovals that we see later on. The mark appears to be stamped. The original brown leather blade washer is in place.

A very fine, high quality early plain bayonet here.

D&EBAY #36966C 1871/84 Dress Bayonet with Dedicated Blue Panels – C. K. Co. (Carl Kaiser)

This early Imperial Dress Bayonet is one of the best examples that I have seen to date from this time period.

The hilt has all nickel-plated parts. The nickel plate is still in first-rate condition, and is 100% throughout. The pommel has the silhouette eagle head, which faces to the left, and with a faux mortise button release. The crossguard is rounded on one side, and, on the other side, has a round quillon which features an opening for the barrel of a rifle.

The grip plates appears to be of an ebony-like material, black in color and very hard. These two grip plates are in completely perfect condition, with a pleasing grain in their surfaces. They are retained by rivets with special dressed heads on both sides.

The scabbard is a leather shell, black in color, and with twin decorative lines on both sides of the edges. It is sewn up the rear. The leather is still in good condition, showing only normal age. The scabbard mounts are nickel-plated steel types, retained with staples. The staples are on both sides of the lower mount. This mount has some rust forming on the upper right edge, but the rest of the mount still has excellent plating. The upper mount appears to be in good condition beneath the frog, with a matching nickel-plated lug.

The original-to-the-piece frog is a larger proportioned black type. It has two rivets which retain the upper belt loop area, while the lower reverse section is covered in a blue felt material that matches the blue of a Bavarian uniform. Unfortunately there is quite bit of mothing to this felt covering, but it still remains about 70% intact. The patent leather of the frog shows the usual attic crazing, but it is still serviceable.

The blade of this example measures slightly over ten inches in length. It has a large fuller on both sides which is positioned just beneath the quill ridge. The obverse of the blade is etched with oak leaves which occupy most of the surface of the blade. Positioned in between the oak leaves are five ribbons which have a blued background. The ribbons bear the standard remembrance, "Zum Erinnerung an Meine Deinstzeit". The blade remains in near Mint condition.

On the reverse almost the entire blade is covered with a panel with a richly blued backgrounds. Raised out is the name of the original owner as well has his regiment "A. Pfeffer, Kgl. Bayr. Inf. Leib-Regt.". This would indicate that Pfeffer was a member of the King's Bavarian Life Guard Regiment; no doubt this regiment was one of elite troops. The blue backgrounds are still there at almost 100%. The reverse ricasso is marked with the Imperial maker, "C. K. Co.", the initials of Carl Kaiser and Company, which produced mainly from 1875 through 1896. Unfortunately the Kaiser company went out of business after 1896, and no other weapons have been seen from them after this date. It is a shame the did not continue to exist, as their quality was outstanding. I have has some Imperial Naval swords also by this company in the past. The blade has been protected by an in-place red felt buffer, which shows only minor age.

A terrific bayonet here, and the first of the type that I have seen. The consignor has priced this ultra-rare bayonet quite high, but if you are looking for the penultimate piece to finish off an Imperial collection, this one certainly fits the bill.

D&EBAY #36972C Single Etched Luftwaffe Short Bayonet – E. Pack

This bayonet features fairly good plating throughout the hilt. This plating has never been cleaned, so it has a dull nickel look to it. The plating appears to still be mostly all there, with some some areas of wear around the grip and the edges of the pommel top. A little Simichrome would probably work wonders with this hilt.

The mortise button and blade lock work well. There is no felt to be seen in the rifle slot.

The grip plates are the standard black checkered type. They are retained with offset rivets with spanners, like we see on most E. Pack bayonets.

The scabbard is straight throughout, and has fairly good original black paint. There is some age in this paint, but a little wax would clean it up nicely.

The frog is a good quality example, having a rivet in the center reverse. This frog is the patent leather type; it has some mild attic crazing, but it is not too bad.

The blade is the short style, with a narrow fuller and stepped ends. The obverse blade features the Luftwaffe etch, being Model #10, "Flieger". The blade is decorated with oak leaves and acorns at the end, with the two line standard remembrance in the center. The first portion of the blade shows oak leaves which surround a biplane, which is in flight and viewed from the bottom. The detailing to this plane is quite good, showing an Iron Cross on the lower wing. The backgrounds of the etch have 100% frosting. This blade is in Mint condition. The reverse blade is plain, and is also in a Mint state. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the early Pack trademark; a small hammering Siegfried, positioned over the firm's name and location, "E. Pack & Söhne / Solingen". The original brown leather blade buffer is in place.

A difficult to find Pack Luftwaffe bayonet here. It is identical to the example pictured on page 148 of the Wayne Techet book.

D&EBAY #36971C Single Etched Army Long Bayonet – Siegfried Waffen

The hilt of this bayonet is in good condition, with 100% nickel finish. The finish shows some minor age in the surfaces, but it is still all there. The mortise and lock still work well, and there is a green felt in the rifle slot.

The grip plates are the standard black checkered variety, retained by offset rivets with spanner nuts.

The scabbard is straight throughout. This scabbard has excellent original black paint, which is worn slightly in the areas where a frog once rubbed against it. The lower areas, however, are at least about 95% intact.

The long blade is the style with a wide fuller. This blade is etched on the obverse with the Model #1 etch, entitled "Neutral" by the Pack firm. It features a very long, open winged eagle with squared off wings, clutching a wreathed swastika; the bird is very Art Deco looking. Below the bird is the standard remembrance. On either side of the wings are oak leaf sprigs. The reverse frosting is still 100%, and the blade remains in Mint condition.

The reverse of the blade is plain. The ricasso is etched with familiar E. Pack hammering Siegfried figure, as well as the firm's name and location. The original leather blade buffer is in place.

This open-winged eagle etch produced by Pack is the most impressive of them all. This same etch pattern can be see in the Wayne Techet book book on page 147, upper. A really great bayonet here.

D&EBAY #36748 Double-etched Long Infantry Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn

The nickel-plating of this steel hilt is in excellent condition throughout, with 100% coverage. The plating still has a good, bright look to the finish. The mortise button and lock operate well. There is an original red felt in the rifle slot.

The black checkered grip plates are in perfect condition throughout. They are retained by nickel-plated steel rivets, which retain most of their plating. The heads are dressed on the obverse.

The scabbard on this example is an extra cost blued finish. The bluing is still nearly 100% intact throughout the scabbard. There are a couple of minor signs of age in the finish, but they are negligible; this scabbard still rates in Near Mint condition.

Attached to the scabbard is the original frog. It is a patent leather type, and it has some bubbling, most likely caused by attic heat. The frog, overall, is not in great condition but it certainly is still serviceable. It is the style with the center rivet in the reverse.

The long blade is quite impressive, being completely mirror-bright and in Mint condition; it is the style with wide fuller construction. The obverse is etched with Eickhorn Pattern #3220. This pattern depicts the standard remembrance in ribbons, surrounded by oak leaves. On the right side is an upward standing Wehrmacht eagle clutching a swastika, while on the left is a wreath with a pair of crossed rifles and an Army helmet superimposed. The frosted background finish is still all there. The reverse etch is a rarely seen example, being the same as is shown in the Wayne Techet book on page 117. The etch reads "Infanterie / Regiment No. 119 / Stuttgart". This background gray is also intact. Both etch patterns have the classic Eickhorn border that include 3 fleurs-de-lis. This blade is in full Mint condition. The reverse is marked with the 1935-41 Eickhorn trademark; a squirrel, facing left, and holding a downward pointing sword. Above is the word "Original", and below the firm's name and location, "Eickhorn / Solingen". The original black blade buffer is in place.

Double etched long bayonets are difficult to obtain, and this one has lots of appeal.

D&EBAY #36684 Single-etched Long Infantry Bayonet – A. Evertz

Any bayonets found with the Arthur Evertz stamping are quite rare. Wayne Techet shows one in his book on page 93, and says that it was the only bayonet with an Evertz stamping that he had come across. He also states that he feels that Evertz used F.W. Höller as their etch producer. The etch that Techet shows in his book on page 93 is a Höller etch, and the etch on this example is also a Höller design, so I believe that Wayne is correct in his hypothesis. The stamping to the name on the ricasso is identical to the example shown on page 93.

The hilt of this example is still nice and bright, having all of the plating except for a tiny rub on the center of the reverse crossguard area. This plating is nice and bright, showing only the most modest signs of age. The mortise button and lock work well. The original red felt is still in the rifle slot.

The grip plates are the black checkered variety, both being in perfect condition. The plates are retained by two nickel rivets, both having dressed heads.

The scabbard is nice and straight, and has excellent original black paint. This paint shows only the most modest signs of age and usage, still rating easily at 98%. The paint still has a bright finish.

The attached frog is one of the patent leather types, and it has some evident attic crazing. It is still in serviceable condition, however.

The long blade is the style with a wide fuller. The blade is completely bright, and in Mint condition. The obverse has a Höller style etch, which is nearly identical to the example show in the Techet book on page 175. This etch has 100% gray panels, and depicts a Wehrmacht eagle on either side of the dedication. The three line dedication has the standard remembrance on the first two lines, while the third line reads, "Beim Infanterie Rgt. 37". As indicated above the ricasso is stamped "A. Evertz / Solingen". Obviously Evertz used Höller to furnish this etch for them. The detail throughout is extraordinary, and the original brown leather blade buffer is in place.

A good example here for those of you out there collecting rarely seen etched bayonets.

D&EBAY #35912 Single Etched Open Eagle Motif Bayonet – Emil Voos

This bayonet has a fairly good nickel-plated hilt. The plating shows some mild age freckling in the surfaces but overall it is still nearly all there. There is some modest wear on the left strut edge but otherwise the plating is good. The mortise button and lock work well. There is no felt in the rifle slot. The grip plates are the black checkered Bakelite being in perfect condition. They are retained by nickel-plated steel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse.

The scabbard is straight throughout being the short variety. This scabbard has good original black paint showing some age spidering and some mild wear, but overall the paint is probably about 90-95%.

The short style blade has the narrow fuller with a stepped point. The obverse of the blade is plain. The blade has excellent nickel plating throughout still being in mint condition. There are a couple of tiny nicks up on the quill back but they are not bad. The reverse blade has the great wide open-winged eagle that we all love to see. Looking through the Wayne Techet book I see that there is a similar etch on page 106 that bears the mark of the C.D. Schaaff firm. Schaaff probably did not make their etched bayonets either so both of these firms ordered this blade etch from another larger company. Either way, a very fine example here and Emil Voos etched bayonets are rarely encountered. A fine example for the serious collector out there.

D&EBAY #35655 Single Etched Long Bayonet – F.W. Höller

This long-style bayonet has a good, bright nickel-plated hilt. The plating appears to be 100% across the surfaces. There is some freckling beneath the surfaces, which is evenly spread; it is not bad and does not appear to be threatening the plating. The mortise button and lock work well. The slot has a green felt insert in it, which may or may not be original to this piece. The grip plates are the black Bakelite variety, having good checkering. They are retained by steel rivets, having dressed obverse heads.

The scabbard is nice and straight throughout, being the long variety. This scabbard has good original paint, which is at least 98% intact and still fairly bright. There is a good looking leather frog attached to the scabbard, which has very little (if any) deterioration, and is in Near Mint condition. The name of the original owner appears to be scratched into the surfaces of the reverse of the frog, but I can quite read it. The letters though are still quite clear, so many someone more familiar with German could possibly figure out the owner's name.

The blade is the long style, having wide fuller construction. It is of highest quality nickel plating, and is in Mint condition. The reverse blade is plain, while the obverse has the the "3-way" etch designated ES104 by the Höller firm. This etch depicts a machine gun nest at the left, a artillery crew in the center, and a Panzer coming over a hill. Obviously the intent of Höller was to try to include as many as Army branches as possible in this particular etch scene. The standard remembrance is in a ribbon which flows over top of the depiction. The ribbon is surrounded by oak leaves. The frosted background really highlights this interesting etch. If you are not familiar with these you can see a bayonet in the Wayne Techet book that is identical to this example, being on page 176. The obverse ricasso is stamped with double ovals of the Höller firm, complete with the thermometer logo, with too many digits to ever count. The original brown leather bale buffer is in place.

A very popular etched bayonet here, and a good looker to be sure.

D&EBAY #35543 Stag-gripped Long Plain Bayonet – Robert Klass

This bayonet has good nickel-plating to the hilt, which is still nearly 100%, however there is some freckling under the plating, but it is not bad. The mortise button and lock work well. The felt insert is missing from the rifle slot. This bayonet hilt is equipped with choice, original stag grip plates. These antler plates are quite beautiful, the reverse being very dark with attractive raised grains, and the obverse being lighter, having tan and coffee-colored tones in the recesses. These plates have been cut and fit by a master. The plates are retained by nickel rivets which have dressed head on the obverse.

The scabbard is straight throughout. The scabbard appears to have had a repaint which was done in a muted black color. It looks rather nice, and appears to have been done someone who knew what they were doing as there is no "orange peel" in the finish. This paint remains at 100%. There is no frog on this piece.

The long-style blade has a wide fuller construction. This blade is of highest quality throughout, having a mirror-like nickel plated finish. The blade is Mint condition. It is marked on the reverse with the kissing cranes, perched above the firm's name and location, "Robert Klass / Solingen". The original black leather blade washer is in place.

A nice long bladed example here, with hard to find stag grip plates.

D&EBAY #35379 Luftwaffe Single Etched Long Bayonet – E. Pack

This Single Etched Luftwaffe Bayonet is one of the most desirable of the Pack etches. The hilt has good bright nickel finish throughout. The finish shows some minor usage and just a little bit of age here and there but overall the nickel plating is still all in place. It also is nice and bright. The mortise button and lock work well. The felt is missing from the rifle slot. The grip plates are the black checkered type being in perfect condition. These plates are retained by the off-set rivet and spanner construction mostly used by this firm. The rivets still have nearly all of their plating. A fine hilt here!

The scabbard is straight throughout and has an outstanding black painted surface. It is possible that this could be a repaint but if so it is extremely well done and still in perfect condition. The frog is a Luftwaffe brown type. This frog is a high quality example still being in mint condition giving a great look to this bayonet.

The blade is the long variety. It has beautiful bright nickel-plated surfaces and remains in mint condition throughout. The obverse portrays the standard remembrance in two lines in the center. At the left of the remembrance is a series of oak leaves and floral designs. At the right is a Storch reconnaissance air craft. The detail to this airplane is phenomenal easily showing the cylinders of the engine, the pilot in his cockpit, the Iron Cross on the fuselage and below the wing and also the swastika on the tail fin. The plane is numbered, "20" with a Balkan cross and "C31.". This etch is really stimulating and is a difficult example to find. It is a key piece for any etched bayonet collection. The same etch can be seen in the Wayne Techet book book on page 151. The reverse ricasso is etched with the hammering Siegfried figure having the words, "Siegfried Waffen" above the figure. Next to the figure in three lines is the firm’s name and location, "E. Pack / & Söhne / Solingen". The original leather blade washer is in place. An outstanding example.

D&EBAY #35164 Early Army Dress Bayonet – Horstator

This Army Bayonet is most likely of early construction as the maker name, "Horstator" is an early form used by the E&F Hörster firm. The hilt is an outstanding example having very bright nickel finish and being 100% throughout except on the mortise lock where the plating has left he surfaces of the lock only. The grip plates are the black checkered Bakelite and they are in perfect condition. These plates are retained by nickel rivets having dressed heads. The mortise button and release work well. The original red felt is still in the rifle slot.

The scabbard is straight throughout. This scabbard has excellent original black paint which is still nice and bright. It shows a little bit of carrying time on the obverse but the reverse is still in basic mint condition. The lug is the smaller type which is numbered on the underside, "753H" being typical of the Hörster firm. This lug though is an early type as it has a washer-like mount at the lower stem where it fastens into the metal of the scabbard shell. There is no frog on this piece.

The blade is a real beauty having highest quality nickel-plated finish. This blade is the long style with wide fuller construction and is easily in full mint condition. The interesting trademark features a single oval and in the center is the large "H" letter with the smaller "H" and "S" letters in the middle being pierced by a sword. Around the single oval is the firm’s name, "Horstator" and the location "Solingen". As stated above, this was an optional name that was used by the Hörster firm early on. The original blade buffer has gone to time. A very nice interesting Army example here.

D&EBAY #35354 Stag Grip Single Etched Short Bayonet – Puma

The nickel plating throughout the hilt of this example is all there however there is some freckling that is spread about throughout the pommel area. The crossguard is mostly free of this age. The hilt of the bayonet has been cleaned and looks pretty nice. The mortise button and release work well. The original red felt is still in the rifle slot. The grip plates of this example are a fine antler stag. They have nice golden tones at the top of the grains with deeper coffee color in the recesses. Both grips have been beautifully hand carved and fit and are retained by nickel-plated steel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse.

The scabbard is straight throughout. This scabbard has original paint but most of it is pretty well attic crazed with most of the paint missing around the lower ball area. This paint would clean up some but overall it is about 90%. The black frog has some attic crazing but is not too bad being the style that has a rivet in the reverse center.

The short blade is a very fine near mint example having good bright finish and medium size fuller. The obverse of he blade is plain as this was the usual custom with Puma etched examples. The reverse of the blade however has a fine etch featuring 100% of the original frosting in the backgrounds. The etch features a two-line standard remembrance and on the left side is an open-winged eagle with swastika in its talons and on the right side is a helmet. The national insignia can be seen on the helmet. There is also the patent pending words, "Ges. Gesch." at the lower portion of the etch. This same etch pattern can be seen in the Wayne Techet book book on page 214.

The reverse ricasso is stamped with the diamond trademark having a Puma head in the center with the firm’s name, "Puma" below the head. Below the diamond is the location city, "Solingen". The original brown leather blade buffer is in place. An interesting piece here, one that is not mint but with a really fine blade.

D&EBAY #35428 Period Altered K-98 Bayonet – Paul Weyersberg

This K-98 appears to me as though it was factory altered, possibly to suit a personal customer. The bayonet is definitely a 1930s vintage piece having a standard pommel with working mortise and blade lock. There are no numbers that appear anywhere on either side of the pommel or on the release button. The crossguard appears to have been something handmade in the factory. The crossguard still has the rounded area at the top spine to accommodate a rifle barrel but there has been a long thin quillon added to the crossguard and seems to be retained by two rivets which go through the blade itself. This quillon narrows and curves upwards ending in a round ball.

Additionally, the original grip plates have been replaced with beautiful stag plates, which have been custom fit in a superlative manner. The fit of the grips appears to be better than we normally see on standard stag plates as the points which meet the hilt parts have all been rounded and show much more workmanship than the norm. the areas where the grip has been cut have long since turned a fine golden color. There is no question that this alteration was done many, many years ago and as stated above I feel that it was a factory custom order. These grip plates are retained by screw and spanner nuts in the usual manner.

The blade of this example appears to be a standard K-98 blade with wide fuller. However, the blade does not appear to have ever been blued and was produced with a polished surface but not plated. The blade shows some age, but overall it is still in excellent condition. The blade is marked on the obverse with the serial number, "5084".

Unfortunately the scabbard appears to be a mismatch as it has a different number on it as well as a different maker. Also the scabbard appears to be rather poorly repainted and has lots of dents and dings. The scabbard could definitely use a replacement here which would certainly help the looks of this outstanding piece. There is also a period black frog with the scabbard. The reverse of this blade is marked on the ricasso, "Paul Weyersberg Solingen". If you are a K-98 fan or just like bayonets I’m sure that this example would have lots of eye appeal in your collection. I like it a lot and would not mind displaying it with my collection in the slightest.

D&EBAY #34671 Stag Gripped Long Bayonet

This bayonet has pretty good nickel plating to the hilt. The nickel-plated shows some usage as well as some freckling in the surfaces but overall it is still there and is still bright. The mortise button and lock work well. The original red felt buffer is still in the rifle slot. The grip plates are genuine stag being cut and fit by a master. These plates have attractive dark brown tones and fine graining. The edges have all turned an antique gold look. These plates are retained by steel rivets having dressed heads on the obverse.

The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This shell has excellent original black paint. This paint is at least 95% wearing a little bit towards the tip area but still having a factory bright finish. The scabbard is equipped with a dark brown leather frog. The frog shows some modest age but is still in good condition. The blade of this example is the long style having wide fuller construction. This blade still remains in mint condition. It is interesting to note that on the reverse of the blade there has been a "heart" scribed into the metal. This may have been done by a lonely owner thinking of his sweetheart back home or it could have been done by a capturing veteran. Hard to say but there it is! This mint blade is protected by a brown leather washer. A nice stag bayonet here.
