Terry,
That is a rather crude frog. I suppose it could have been locally made since the bayonet is from occupied territory.

Hommel w/Klass TM I know that this not the first time we have seen one, but I now have one for myself. John Z has one and another member has one. I seen one of these 25 years ago but didn't buy because of my inexperience with the TM.

Terry is correct. My Hommel is on a double etched bayonet, neutral on one side and a dedication to Inf Regt 106 on the other.

Terry that frog dose look a little off but looks pre-1945
This one to me looks post war it's wider than normal over size rivets. This one came on a fire bayo, I've never gave it much added value to the piece just left it as is.

You can see the machine marks up the back side and the stitching dose not match any I've seen.

Steven,
Your frog is made in the Czech manner. It looks like it has been on the scabbard for a long time and the Germans did use a lot of Czech equipment.

Andy, That is the first time Ive seen that TM and a real treat to see thanks.
Terry, when I first looked at it I didn't think about it may be WW1 time frame, it would be great to see more photos of it.

Gunboard link The bayonet is non magnetic, short blade KS98, made by Alcoso ACS Solingen. So i assume 3R piece.

That ACS bayonet with unusual mark is something I would love to own. The mark is quite unusual & I've never seen anything like it. It almost looks to be a regimental mark with all the stuff going on.
I would agree with Andy that if it has that Alcoso mark that it's probably 3R era example.

Baz That fits with the style of the bayonet. Notice how thin the cross guard is compared to ACS pictured. I own 2-3 pre-WW2 dress bayonets and they have the same characteristics as this one.

Happy Thanks Giving to all I have some good news and bad news. The TM mark below is Robert Klass Messerfabrik, Solingen-Ohligs The bad news is that it is post war per W. Weavers book Titled An Encyclopedia of German Trade names and Trade marks 1900-1945. I guess Fisher was wrong on this one.

Terry,
Wow, Hommel was a manufacturer? I figured for sure they were a distributor.

I see, in Fisher, that Hommel in Mainz (a branch office) and in Mannheim-Kaferthal (the head office) was a manufacturere of NS bayonets.
With the logo of the twin cranes, I thought the same as Billy... that Hommel was a distributor of Klaas blades.
Thanks for showing us the error of our thinking, Terry.

Interesting that in the companies bio it doesn't show the war years. Its still interesting that Hommel and Klass combined TM symbol and name on the same side. The J. Hommel, Aschaffenburg is probably a different TM/Distributor. 1876 Hermann Hommel, Geh. Kommerzienrat (counciler of commerce) founds the "Technisches Werkzeuggeschaeft H. Hommel" in Mainz, a commercial company for tools and machine tools. 1893 Hermann Hommel establishes a factory for precision measuring tools in Idar-Oberstein. His aim is to produce adequate, high-precision measuring tools for the metal-working industry which was increasing at that time. 1910 Company moves to Mannheim Kaefertal. 1924 Affiliation to the Otto-Wolff-Group. 1973 The group acquires the company Gerhardt Messmaschinenbau in VS-Schwenningen, integrating it as a branch. In the course of structural modifications of the group, Hommelwerke is transferred to VS-Schwenningen. 1990 Take-over by Thyssen AG. 1997 De-merger from Thyssen as part of a management buy-out. 2000 Take-over by JENOPTIK Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH. 2001 Integration of JENOPTIK's optical shaft measurement technology sector (formerly Steinheil) into Hommelwerke. 2002 * Strategic alliance with Detroit Precision Hommel Inc. to serve the US-market. * Acquisition of Optische Sensorsysteme GmbH and extension of product range with Optical Inspection. * Acquisition of Somicronic SA and foundation of HOMMEL SOMICRONIC SARL to strengthen the position in the French market. * Hommelwerke is accredited DKD calibration laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 for calibration of roughness, profile depth, roughness measuring systems (since 1980) as well as - new - roundness, straightness, parallelism and magnification standards. 2003 Acquisition of IBP Messtechnik GmbH and completion of the form measuring products range. 2004 Cooperation on Telstar Hommel Corp. - fortification on the south-korean market 2005 Hommelwerke acquires new stake in the Czech and Slovak market for industrial production measurement technology. 2006 *Joint Venture in Shanghai: Hommel-Telstar Shanghai Measuring and Automation Co., Ltd. * Hommelwerke GmbH acquires French measure-ment technology company ETAMIC SA. 2007 Merger of the Hommelwerke GmbH and the Etamic SA into the HOMMEL ETAMIC GmbH.

Not the first company to conveniently forget the past. I get the fact that they produced items which could have been used in the war effort & that perhaps they're a little squeamish about that but the evidence is plainly there. I think they don't need to "admit" anything but the conspicuous failure to mention anything seems worse than they actual truth.
Bertram Reinh. also likes to dispute that they manufactured SS daggers during the NS zeit, good luck convincing anyone of that.

My good friend Chester L. found this one for me. I had been looking for several years. Easy to find the ACS TM, but AWS had eluded me. The blade is not plated but is magnetic along with the Rivets, hilt is non-magnetic. The blade had been lightly sharpen but polished up well. Don't normally tell what I pay for bayonets, but for $41 a great deal. thanks Chester.

Terry,
I know you've been looking for an AWS for years, I've always kept my eyes open for you as well. It really is nice to see. A shame about the sharpening, I have a few scarce/rare marks that are also similarly disfigured but bought them anyway. Well done Chester & Terry!
Andy,
The exclamation point within the triangle is the mark of Richard Plümacher, not often seen on a KS98. I have this mark on a late production short model KS98 (one of the few non-fire pieces I own), it has nearly no plating on the hilt but the blade is immaculate.

I believe the one Terry shows is even rarer than the logo with just the triangle & exclamation point. I bought the one I have because I liked the logo, it's on the only Heer dagger I own.
Here's mine

The AWS marking on service 84/98 bayonets is probably more common and seems to fall into two groups. Late German Police marked (still a high polish finish, which for Coppel Wehrmacht bayonets extended into as late as very early in 1942). And the later so-called mid-war 'commercial' bayonets from that maker with a much less refined finish. Nice catch!! Best Regards, Fred
