Kopterus,

Thank you for your kind words. That's a very nice Eickhorn, I've always particularly appreciated the dual marked examples myself. OK so the marks are kinda common, when they're beautifully conditioned like this, it's always a pleasure to behold. I have several frogs like that with the same shape & stitching. I suspect it's probably a manufacturer's variant.


Terry,

I have both marks on fire bayonets & have never seen the Ziegler mark on anything but a fire bayonet. Can you post your Heer example?

Interestingly, the Ziegler mark not shown by Kopterus is usually seen stamped or etched in the direction of the blade & not perpendicular to it.
