"In the SS collector community, it is said that WKC & Horster furnished bayonet blanks to the SS."
In the bayonet community that is much more larger as the SS coll.community, is no similar information. Because the blanks were by majority of firms obtained by forgerys directly, the producers only mashined the bayonets and completed it. So Hoerster and WKC certainly produced blankos, i believe WKC stamped the mark there, but it was delivered to SS finished bayonets. The assembling in camps is a not real story, but refurbishment or reworking could be realised certainly.

I can agree with the majority of your statement. However; if the work camps were fabricating gun parts and working on guns they could surely do the same to bayonets.
We are close and differing only in the definition of the terms assembly & rework of bayonets in the work camps.
