Andy,
Is it your opinion that some unmarked bayonets & rifles were used by the SS? If that is your opinion, I would agree with that. However, there is a substantial amount of legitimate SS marked weapons in collections.
As I stated earlier, there was a non SS marked rifle taken from the SS Weapons Depot along with the 2 SS marked & 45 dated bayonets.

Andy,Joe, FP:
Since we are talking about SS VZ-24 Bayonets, I would like to expand the subject to a SS TV VZ-24 Bayonet with Property Number to the 4th TK-Standarte Ostmark. This Standarte was formed in 1938 at Vienna and Berlin. Later designated 4. SS-Infanterie Regiment.
Bayonet is a VZ-24 that has been given an SS Property #45. Scabbard is numbered on thte frog stud. Grips are numbered 866 which matches the number on the tang. Bayonet is 4th TK-Standarte marked as well as SS marked. The frog is 4th TK-Standarte marked.The blade has been sharpened to an extreme keen edge before reblue. The muzzle ring has been cut.

The dot must be WaA proofed only with 63, but is too small so it could be missreaded as 59 You should use a magnification glass. The other Vz.24 SS marked bayonet could be probably examined only by sharp pictures, when You will it would be probably better start a new thread as mentioned by Joe. best regards,Andy PS we would like to see the 45 dated bayonets SG84/98 as i am the database keeper for BCN

Until just now, I had (rightly or wrongly) assumed that the 1945 dated bayonets under discussion were Vz. 24’s. That they are a pair of SG 84/98’s (98K’s) does put a fresh perspective on the matter, and I can see where the BCN database would have an interest in the bayonets. Also agreeing that a complete Vz. 24 rig that is well marked, should probably have a thread devoted just to that one topic alone. FP

FP,
There are SS 98/05 bayonets. FP, There are SS 84/98 bayonets
There are SS Vz-24 Bayonets
There are SS Rigs: Belt, Bayonet, Pouches, Pistols
There are documented (Capture Paper Items)
What type of data on SS Bayonets can be provided for our discussions. There are strong opinions especially on SS VZ-24 bayonets that they are all fakes, made by the Russins etc. Nothing based on hard evidence & facts.

Richard, There have been several requests for pictures along with the descriptions. Again, pictures please..... Remember the old college professor's adage...."Publish or Perish!" A new thread would be nice also, since this one started out on an entirely un-related subject. Klinge, did you have your original question answered satisfactorily?

Denny,
It is difficult to show alot of pictures of unpublished SS bayonets. I do not want to give the makers of reproductions a heads up before I have published. However, I can share some pictures of items with members, Pictures to be sent directly to E-mail address and pictures not to be published. I shall also try to answer to the best of my ability any question that comes from our forum. Again, I allowed Whittman to use some of my bayonet pictures and within 3 months there were numerous SS 98/05 bayonets at the gun shows. I did not give all of the details so the fakes were easy to detect. I am a collector and researcher not a dealer. I am not trying to advance any of my collection. Let us see where it goes. It is a great& interesting topic and there is a to be learned by all. Our founder John Jacobi has been a great help and has found numerous bayonets for me. The last one was in Germany not more than 3 months ago. I still owe him.

Denny,
Can you post pictures for me if I send them to you. We need to set some base lines and get agreement on specific issues as we go along. I want to start off with SS Bayonets that have been published ans select some specific models.

Bayonet Forum Members,
Do any of you remember Glenn De Ruter from Sarco? Glenn imported into this country a large quantity of SS bayonets. They varied in quality from tomato stakes to excellent condition pieces. Glenn was also an original BCN Member.

Hello,
the frog is an original one.
A white police Frog made by Bruno Leunert Brenning in 1938. These frogs are in combination of an leather front and a "plastic" bag.
Regards

Hi Gardist
No "plastic" in this frog but only leather. The upper leather part seems to be new and the other is made of very hard and dry leather.
Regards. Alain
