Hi Jack,

How're things out there? I hate to say it but I actually imported this piece from Kalifornia Smile It's not easy, they are too many people looking to scoop these up. I think this example is pretty sweet in itself, my photographic skills are notoriously poor. Time for a remedial class methinks. Many thanks for the kind words though.

Hi Terry,

I have to see if I can find one for you and I'll be honest, your rare and beautiful fire bayonets are quite the bait.

Luc,

You're quite right, Bob's PSS on Collector to Collector Militaria is a nice one with a lot going for it, WKC maker marked and unit marked as well.

The PSS marks I've observed so far:
Gebruder Hartkopf/Walter & Co, M�hlhausen
JA Henckels/Frister & Rossmann, Berlin
Deutsche Maschininfabrik
D�rkoppwerk (sp?)
E&F Horster
WKC

Here's a pic of the other love of my life, a PSS from Gebruder Hartkopf. The white frog and knot were later affectations.
