Peter:
That is one cool blued Eickhorn etch... love it.
That fire etch is also one amazing item. It has to be a one of a kind. Do you have any history on it?
Congrats,
John
Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.

Nice Ernst Knecht & Co., one of many that I don't have. My summers are taken up with my shooting sports. Bayonet collecting is my winter sport.

Andrei,
Nice pickups all. Can we see a shot of the Krebs obverse & pommel? Looks like an Eickhorn product which is always a nice thing to see.

Krebs hilt. Seems like it's an Eickhorn product with wide crossguard.
Terry,
Good luck with sharp shooting. Hope will see you soon on bayonet field.
Billy,
is Krebs mark scarce on firemen bayonets? Why they used Eick hilts?

Andrei,
Dan Pet. Krebs is scarce on a fire bayonet, Carl Krebs is rare IMHO. I have owned 3 Dan Pet. Krebs, none have had the Eick crossguards but it doesn't surprise me that yours has one. Eick was a mass producer of these parts, especially to the smaller cottage manufacturers. Not to say that Krebs was a small manufacturer in & of themselves, just that with respect to dress bayonets & specifically fire bayonets, they most certainly were.
One trait I've found to be consistent with nearly every Dan Pet. Krebs fire bayonet I've observed was the very poor plating on the hilt. For some reason, this seems to manifest itself to the degree that some pommels don't look to have any plating left at all. VERY tough to find a presentable one worthy of keeping, despite the overall scarcity of the mark.
Krebs also used a variation of this mark, just the lobster inside the shape with no name or location. This mark is a little harder to find than the standard variation but with the same plating issues Krebs is infamous for.
Terry,
Andrei is indeed competition but a worthy adversary. He's got a few from my collection in his very nice collection already.

Billy,
Thanks for the answer and good words. IMHO collect dress & firemen bayonets is very interesting, every day can bring you something new. Plus less fakes and postwar "modifications" on this field.
Terry,
more competitions, better prices in the future and more historical knowledge about Solingen edge weapons.

Andrei,
Either a partially worn die or an incomplete strike by the person applying the logo. Maybe a little of both?

Haha.. with WKC, I seem to see a lot of these poor strikes (I have one myself). That however, does not distract from the beauty of the piece and the often exquisite plating quality of these. Beautiful. JAN

100% agree with you. WKC had real plating quality, same Eick. Also like the WKC long blades with narrow fuller.This is my first one, looks awesome.

Very nice Buchel. I've noticed a lot of scarce & rare marks coming on the market as of late. And Andrei seems to be nailing most of them! On the subject of strikes, I had several Buchels with poor strikes before I found one with a nice, completly struck like this one.

I wanted to bring this topic to the top, lest it find the same fate as the last fire bayonet thread. I have a bunch more trademarks to add & just haven't had the opportunity to snap good photographs of them. Some nice variations too so stay tuned.

I got a good laugh a couple weeks ago while at a gun show. I saw a Fireman bayonet in a case and asked the dealer if it had a TM. He informed me that Fireman blades were non marked. When I told him I had a few that had TMs he as much said I didn't know what I was talking about. Wish I had taken my TM list with me. Just had to walk away. Hey only 4 months till the SOS show.

Terry,
My guess would be the Ft. Wayne survival gear/beef jerky aka gun show at the Memorial Coliseum. Even though it's close, I stopped making the trip several years ago.
Where were you yesterday? We missed you at the Nappanee show. A magnificent 1936 Krieghoff Luger walked in the door!
See ya at the SOS.

See ya at the SOS. Denny: I haven't been to that one in over 20 years but since beef jerky is still a principal stapel of the show I guess I haven't missed much and not much has changed. It's too bad really is this is an excellent location for a show. Jim

Denny, Did you score that Krieghoff? A gentleman came into the shop last week and saw a few things in my display case. He mentioned that he had just acquired a Luger on trade. I asked him to describe it and all he came up with was 1943. The date I knew was not a BYF, a '42, nor a banner. Don't want to jinx this, I really want to see it next week. It was about this time last year a '39 S/42 police came in the door. Lightning may strike twice  Both guys had no intention of selling but four months later I ended up with the police Luger. Sorry Billy for taking over your TM thread. I wish I had a new FW with an odd trademark to add. But I think you guys have found all of them Regards, Steve

Steve,
No trouble at all, I love all this stuff & that includes Lugers. I'm interested too if Denny got the Krieghoff! That Polizei Luger of yours is a keeper, a real prize indeed. Don't ever let that one go!
Terry,
That's a great story, fire bayonets weren't marked. I read something similar on Eban. Someone was selling an unmarked unit & stated in his narrative they rarely, if ever, were marked. What kind of glue is that guy huffin'?

Steve & Billy,
My buddy got the Krieghoff Luger! He is the proud owner of a 99% gun with matching clip, 1 extra non-matching clip and a great holster. We took it out to the parking lot so I could get a couple of poor shots of it. I also heard of a 1943 Krieghoff that came out of the woodwork recently in the same neighborhood. Go figure!
Here are a couple pictures of the 1936. Billy, apologies for this in your thread. If anyone wants more info on the Luger, please email me dengaiATnetzero.net. It's definately not for sale....
Let's get back to Fire Bayonets on this thread.
