I�m afraid that I have to agree with George as regards Richard�s bayonet, and would have to include the attached belt frog as well. At a show recently I came across a Spanish M1943 with a German frog attached (imitating a 98K) that was �SS� marked. But differently using stamps instead of engraving. The frog was just as phony as the bayonet - being a conglomeration of individual hand stamps that did not match wear patterns. FP
