Well, the fine gentlemen who work for Canada Customs finally released my package after they spent some time investigating it and looking for clues, but they were left clueless (I digress).
The package contained 3 Pack etched bayonets which I will share with you over the next couple of days.
The three etches are:
1) an unusual double etched Neutral No 11 obverse and Pioniere Oval reverse on a non Pack hilt Pioniere style bayonet. I am in discussions with a couple of you about this and will post this one last after all our discussions are over.
2) a large Panzer single etch No 5.
3) and a short Oval C31 single etch, which I am posting right now. I have two of these now and they are slightly different from each other.
The obverse of the short single etch C31 Oval:

The TM:
Note that many Ovals have the other large Siegfried Waffen TM, but my two C31s don't, they have this one.

Now, I have a long version of this on a double etched blade (I showed this on a previous thread... it is the Willi Langenberg presentation piece) and it has a slightly different airplane than the above version.
Notice that there is no 'C31' on the fuselage:

The reverse etch is interesting, it is simply and only the Pack Pioniere Oval etch.
Very different and very very nice.

And the Pioniere Oval.
Denny, I was glad to be able to show you and Terry some of these items.
And, I really appreciated the help and advice that Wayne, DD and Ron gave me at the show (and many times outside of the show).
By the way, these three Pack etches came to me from Paul at Lakesidetrader, another fine Canadian type guy, eh.

Not quite SOS finds, but I would like to show you my latest Pack etched arrival. It is the Rerik Flak Artillery School etch that is shown on pages 66-67 of Wayne's great book, German Etched Dress Bayonets.
