Hi guys! Here is my newest bayo, EARLY Eickhorn short stag handled bayo.Sorry pics arent better!need new camera! Anyone have a frog and knot for her?
ANY comments welcome! Kevin.
Forgot to add that this bayo has the red felt in the slot,does this indicate a branch or certain military field?? Kevin.
Kevin,
According to the Eickhorn catalog, the red felt is a generic color for all Wehrmacht troops. It could also specifically designate Luftwaffe Flak formations.
You need to decide if you want an Army or Air Force frog and knot for your bayonet. Since it is a short model you will need a NCO knot for it from the service you decide.

From your pictures you have a very nice bayonet. Mint bayonets are hard to come by.

Thank for your kind response gentlemen, and the great info on the accoutrements ORPO!!

I just love the oval Eick marks, and the stag always makes me look twice. Nice pickup.
