Servus !

I do not know, there´s a list of the manufactures of the "Infanteriemesser 42".

But IMO many different manufacturers in the Reich produced this "IM 42", (blank, with, or without maker´s-mark´s stamped on the blade, with, or without on the blade stamped code´s instead the Logo).

Known manufacturer´s of the "Infanteriemesser 42":

Gebrüder Gräfrath, W.K.C., Tiger, Herder, Alcoso, Eickhorn, Gebrüder Weyersberg, F.W. Höller, ....

Another maker of fighting-knive´s, (better: "utility"-knive´s), was PUMA.

Remarkable was the red-brown bakelite grip.
Puma also produced "tool-knive´s" during the war.

This maker stamped it´s blade´s in several, different way´s.

One example:

Hi!

Does your PUMA, (the one on the left), show the Aluminium-crossguard ?

Please, let me also see the blade !

Thx.,

@ seany again:

The reason why I´m asking is, that I´m looking for pic´s of another PUMA with this particular mark on the blade:

PUMA SOLINGEN, (combined with the Aluminium crossguard and the Bowie-style blade).

You know, that PUMA marked theyre blades with different maker´s marks, and PUMA also manufactured theyre knive´s with different kind of blades, also, crossguards!
