Andy,

If the SS Property stamp was under the white paint it would be a fake. The frogs are purchased items finished in white. Received in and then property stamped.

-1. Blanko Blade
-wood grips are correct on this, but should be serialed with tang
2. WA 88 on the pommel.
-there is 883 with no visible 3 on end
3. Accountability # 248 stamped into the scabbard and bayonet.
-its a normal serial number
4. Blade has high polish and very high blue. Quality far exceeds the normal SS combat bayonet.
- it was part of Portugal contract that was not realised
6. Property stamp is below the blue.
-that shouldnt be as the stamp were added on a fullended bayonets, so the blueing must be under as the DH is engraved
-to 41 ddl as already mentioned before its equiped with late war grips, so probably a late war rework?
