In regards to the #1 SS Bayonet, this is what I have found:
1. There is no number on the crossguard.
2. There is no serial # in the grips.
-there should be by blankos
3. Both grips are marked WA 218.
- so Your piece has grips from a Wehrmacht bayonet, and from Elite Diamant directly, as we known that Diamant ended production in 1941, this is missmatched piece
4. Flashguard is numbered: #05823.
-flash is too from other piece
thats means for me the piece is a rework probably postwar, so the SS stamps are problematic too.
