Hi guys,

Since we're really getting into this, I've decided to take pictures of all the WaA and grip markings. As mentioned above the grips are marked G9 and G11. As far as the WaA numbers go, it appears that every single one of them is WaA 313. I'm not seeing anything else.

If this bayonet were built with a compilation of older parts wouldn't we be seeing different WaA numbers? Also, the spine of the blade is marked 43, which again doesn't signify that older parts have been used.

As far as the flower actually covering something up, I don't think this is the case. I have looked at it very carefully and it doesn't appear that anything is below it, but I will pull out a usb microscope and blast the area at 250x magnification.

Stay tuned...

Chris
