Will,
Nice looking early production piece with the red felt buffer & that wide diamond bakelite. I have a short Pack with a tough to find mark that has "Garantie Stahl" on the reverse ricasso as well.
Steve,
You showing off again? I'm still using two tin cans & a string to call people =)

Wow, this is a beauty and you did great in going for it. I have its brother as well, although you have it in a nicer condition. It's also marked with "Garantie Stahl" and with the same scabbard. I am sure it's the same maker. Notice the large ball on the scabbard as well as the same heavy plating on the blade. I am attaching some pictures below of the blade and the entire bayonet as a whole: Also look at this thread for more info: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=204539&highlight=garantie+stahlJAN
