yes but only for short period of reworking of older equipment which was the gew98 converted to K98k configuration. So the pieces are converted probably in early 1933-38 period.
For SS knots is probably the best book George Wheeler History of german bayonet 1918-45.


Andy,

I do not know how long they were reworking the Czech Rifles and or why?

George Wheeler has a great section in his book on the SS Portapees. There are a few more SS portapees out there that George doesn't show.
