nr.1 because there is well reported production of rifles but not of bayonets, the main produced rifle of camps K98k modell are already the late Kriegsmodell modell, that in majority werent equiped with bayonet slot, read the book i already mentioned in previous mails, in Germany there was enough bayonet producers
nr.2 i dont know what for marking is for camp rework? the runes and 1941 date?
nr3 as You offered the rough finish and tang marking, there no possible that Your piece was made earlier as 1943
nr.4 i already answered the question, without picture no possible to say, as it could be no 88 but 68, anyway both are reported by WKC.
Anyway when stamped by WKC blanko it went to NS party with or wout the additional SS stamps.And it was made by WKC no in camps.
