Houston,

What do you think of this bayonet?

It's not my area of blades.

Last pic.
I think it's a post war etching, but like i said, etching isnt my area.

Typical fake Bob. Probably all real parts but a fake etch. There are several types around. There are only two known originals-one by HOLLER can be found in one of the early Johnson books. These came out in about the 70's-maybe a little before or after. Many are in collections-one shows up on Ebay every once in a while and usually fools someone into paying big for it. There is one in the 2nd volume of Repro/Reco.

Thats what i thought

it's in Germany.
The person kows the owner of it and thought i might be interested in it.

I told him that i didn't like it but that i would ask a few others that are into these and find out for sure.

Bob,

I was also offered a similar piece about 5 years ago. The piece was also a Pack but had a different city on the obverse etch.

The stag on yours has a funny color although it may be the picture, I don't like the look of rivets either.

It figures !

I get these offers all the time,
But i'm not into the etching stuff, so i had to ask for help

I think we can all agree it's a bayonet not accorded typical E. Pack & Sohne traits. These poor example police etches continue to show up with different makers and hilt types. I know at a show it's a very easy thing to want the bayonet etch to be "real". What one might do is to take a look at a real pre-45 etch Eickhorn, Pack it doesn't matter then compare those beautiful etch designs and detail (with frosted backround) to the police example seen here. The difference is easy to see. But I know it can be difficult....take care

Should the Pack Stag bayo's have the nut&bolts holting the grip plates like all there other Bayo's?(on a authentic one of coarse!!) Just picking you guys minds here! Kevin.
