Hallo Wotan,
I'm sure you're quite right about the missing letter in the stamping. I think it was my more than obvious love for the feuerwehr faschinenmesser that contributed to the error
I killed my batteries last night snapping a ton of pictures of this and a few other pieces that arrived yesterday. I was able to invert the picture and I think you can make out where the letter in the second word is missing, probably from a lighter than average strike by the fellow stamping the mark.
Hi Denny,
Thanks man, I'm pretty happy with it myself although I think I'm just a touch more partial to the Hartkopf I found a while ago. This one is actually a bit better, the scabbard has no depressions at all, certainly no dents or anything.
Even though I have a lot of dress bayonets, and as hard as this sounds if I had to pitch them all and keep just one, it would be a PSS. Not to worry, they are out there and you'll get lucky, I'm sure of it. This is my second so I'm sure there's one with your name on it.
