Forum Members,
From the first topic on SS Bayonets we can conclude the following:
1. SS KS 84/98 Bayonets exist in the forms of etched and plated blades. Examples shown include: triple etch, double etch, single etch, and 2 SS RZM plated blades.
2. The SS Portapees with the salt & pepper balls are the early SS VT models.
3. The SS Portapee with the cord on the ball is considered the Waffen SS Ball.
4. The SS Portapees with the White Strap and black lines are considered "Peace Time" Portapees.
5. SS KS Bayonets exist but one must be extremely careful due to all of the known fakes and reproductions that exist.
