I bought a SS double sided engraved bayonet on a hotel buy in Texas, some 12 years ago. Maker was "WKC".Wish i still had it.My question is why do we not see more SS engraved bayonets, there were plenty of SS men, you always see the Army engraved pieces.
Thanks

Bob,
I have to agree with you. Why are there not more original SS etched bayonets out there? I have a few more;however, for every one original SS etched bayonet I have seen at least 25 fake/reproduction ones. Somewhere an opinion was expressed that because the SS was always on the move that they did not get the opportunity to order the KS Bayonets. I think that it has more to do with attrition. Early SS units were completely wiped out and then refitted with new recruits and then bled dry again. My opinion also goes for the scaricity of the early SS TV equipment / bayonets. Extremelyrare items.
