Joe,
What type of evidence are you talking about Joe? The property marks on the bayonets and rifles and some pistols are the same. Are you saying that that all of the SS rifles out there marked similiary are not correct because the markings can not be explained??
Are you saying that bayonets listed on capture bayonets are not legitimate?
Joe, I have the coding determined for the SS VT. I didn't find a chapter in a book that described what or how a TV item should be marked. It was detemined by obtaining a large enough population of bayonets and items that would be used along with them. It was then a matter of grouping and comparing SS marks.
Joe, as I offered before, my collection can be viewed and evaluated. Have you seen all of these same exact markings in the same locations as what has been shown?
