WKC did not do any etching on their own... they bought their etches from Holler.

This is not an etch that Holler is known to have produced.

I won't even go into the colour scheme.

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.

Michael,

Unfortunately I agree completely with John's assessment of this WKC. Some of these bayonets you've shown recently aren't even close to looking original IMHO, are they all from the same source?

Thanks for the help. Isn't present from different sellers. It is impossible to buy the original around one fakes. With best regards Michael.

I should note that the frog has a rare marking for the Berlin Feuerwehr. I have one with the same maker & FW marking. It took me a long time to find one, a shame this one is stuck on such a piece.
