Wetzel,

Sorry I didn't catch that but yes that's correct and you will find this on a lot of targets.

The handle scales are Celluloid:

From The Spruce Crafts, "What Is Celluloid and What Does It Look Like?
Most people recognize the pale-yellow pieces with graining that are meant to simulate ivory as celluloid these days. Celluloid was often referred to as “French Ivory” in its heyday to give it a little more snob appeal and is sometimes marked as such. The composition, however, has nothing at all to do with genuine ivory harvested from animal tusks. Another similar term for celluloid, Ivory Pyralin, is sometimes found stamped on these types of pieces as well.

Even though the pale-yellow pieces are recognized as this type of plastic most often, it took many forms and colors during the time it was being used. Celluloid was inexpensive, easy to work with, and durable when new. If you look around you can find knife handles, holiday decorations, razors, hair ornaments, dresser sets, and even jewelry made up of celluloid, and many of these are still in good condition today."

Here are two Schrade Cut. Co. knives with Imitation Ivory (Celluloid) handles from my collection. C. Wetzel-20609

I still find this ad amazing. It is pre 33 and shows the cufflinks and anti-fascist pieces on the same ad!!

Have you ever wanted to own a SS tag,,or a Foreign Volunteer tag,,of Stalag POW tag?

Finally found them. Have these shown and more.... The SS go for big money but for the GDC guys if you see one and really interested, I'll give the best deal possible..

Also what survived from my ground dug collection. Want to sell as a lot. Make a fair offer and lets talk turkey...

My email in my profile:

Some pieces I'm bring to the MAX

The Dachau is on the common side.. The Mauthausen is a hard to find one..

The Soviet are part of a large collection I have. I only collected military and those with interesting backs!

I saw a drawing in a period catalog or a reprint of one. Will have to backtrack to see what it was listed as.

Reichs Chancellery card. Impessive to see the size scale when occupied.

Indeed. That Thym guy has a lot to answer for! 🤣

OP I have sent you a private message. I would be interested in purchasing this.

I've never owned one of these with the steel Ersatz scabbard. I assume the 07 of the spine is the issue year? Does anyone know what the stamp on the frog is? Any other info would be appreciated.
As always appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge

There is one on eBay item number:133948908905 !
If you google WW2 German Late War Ersatz K98 Bayonet Frog. That is one that comes up.

I noticed that also. Todays Postal Service, ( I use that term lightly) is in the same situation.

Hi all,
Il have a Stuka etched bayo by CJ KREBS. There some little differences in the design with the Spitzer''s one posted here. But the main différence is the lack of the "Ges.Gesch" marking which in CJ.Krebs bayo is just under and at right of the left wheel of the Stuka.That proves IMO the etche is a fake one. Sorry I don't know how to send a close up pic. Regards. Pat.

what happened to this dagger verdict ??????

You can buy it on Amazon for about £15.

One can see the evidence as the prices rise on Heer daggers and second pattern Luftwaffe also as mentioned good conditioned Kriegsmarine daggers, always a tough sell have begun to top $1500 to $2000

Hey Joe,

Sorry about that. It looks WWll.I will try and get some pics. Thank you

Correction: Rouletting around the top of the pipe bowl was used up until about 1700 NOT 1800. See clay tobacco pipe chart and see 2nd photo of 17th & early 18th century pipes. A few late 19th century pipes may be found with rouletting, but these pipes are clearly a 19th century type.

Research notes: All pipes can be found in context date (buried in midden with dated rubbish) up to 60+ years after manufacture date. See clay tobacco pipe chart for context & mfg. dates for the North Carolina pipe.

Pipes marked with country of origin dug in the U. S. are 1891 or later, the addition of "made in" was required in 1919.

Most of the R. Tippet pipes found with "R TIP PET" in cartouche, with "R T" Incuse on the back of bowl were manufactured from about 1680 to 1720 and are found on Native American Indian sites in context dated to about 1700 to 1740. 3 generations of Robert Tippet made pipes with Robert Tippet II probably making the most. Robert Tippet I (1660-1678); Robert Tippet II (1678-1713); Robert Tippet III (1713-1720) years of manufacture for 3 generations of R. Tippet pipes.

Henry Hoar (1669-1739) was a Bristol pipe maker who took over the Moulds of R. Tippet. Henry Hoar's pipes are marked with "H. H." Incuse ("to hammer in" from Latin) on the back of the bowl.

I posted 7 Dec. 2022 on page 1 of this thread:

"This probably early 20th century wood handle Verlangerungsmesser was posted by Colin Davis on 6/10/2007 as "Unknown German hunting knife" on German Daggers.com. The bolster is marked "Gesetzlich Geschutzt" (Legally Protected) with an anchor in between. The term "Gesetzlich Geschutzt" is 1899 or later. Note that this model has a spear blade which is probably before 1945."

On 10 April 2024 one of these Verlangerungsmesser sold on the popular auction site for $229.50 + $10.50 S+H. The blade is marked "GESETZL. GESCHUTZT" over "No 354". Seller notes "The front bolster (ferrule) locks the blade open. The rear bolster (ferrule) locks the blade closed."

This locking device is probably why the bolster is marked "Gesetzlich Geschutzt" (Legally Protected) with an anchor in between. I did not bid on this example; the blade is in good condition with some nicks and the sheath was in poor condition, missing part of the sheath.

***Note that the handle could be horn and not wood. The seller did not note handle material.

That's a very good looking dagger, and I like the late-war ersatz hangers, they look a lot like the ones I have.

yeah I hear you.. - * As I mentioned ,,they might make the Ln mark smaller but it will still be missing something!
