UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons The BCN Bayonet Forum SS Bayonets

Prior to 1941 are SS partly independent from obtaining material from Wehrmacht, so a 1938 proofed Hoerster shouldnt go to SS. The doubble WaA253 clearly speak for army acceptance. The ball finial should be too WaA253 proofed, its a armorer replacement piece, where should be no serials. As You could see the runes were stamped by single stamp which is very suspisious, i personally dont like this.The DH is stamped on leather and pommel. The SS2 stamp should by stamped above the DH as seen on reworked rifles.
The Intertwinned runes as there was a special discussion on other forum (FP and Joe)about Cultural markings should be nothing to do on SG84/98 because it was quality or design mark and SG84/98 is a older not SS design to compare with SS degen or other SS items. When stamped on bayonet so not in places as typical for acceptance. I believe all the cultural stamped bayonets are fakes. The WKC or Alcoso that delivered to SS or Police should be blank, without any markings.best regards,Andy
