Andy & Forum,
I discussed the 41ddl before; WA 883; serial #8510; Letter b; with matching scabbard.The frog is maker marked and dated 1941. The frog has an SS property stamp and is also dated 1941. Bayonet is SS property stamped Runes2 over TK.
With the dated SS Proprty stamp on the frog, and the SS Property stamp on the bayonet, and the matching scabbard dated 1941, it is my opinion that this bayonet would be an army bayonet (contract) supplied direcly to the SS.
