Will,
I am glad that you are enjoying the SS Bayonet Thread. There are so many other areas yet to cover. The SS 98/05 Models; the SS TV Bayonets; SS Polish Bayonet, Belt rigs; portapees, SS rifles with bayonets.
As you see we sometimes strongly disagree on specific issues.

With the plus side of vigorous discussions being the learning experience. As I recall, Richard has stated earlier a time or two, there is an active "collector community" out there that he has been in contact with that has been sending him messages of support. What was done in the Hühnlein NSKK dagger discussion was the transmission of data/pictures anonymously for inclusion in the discussion. And what I would suggest is that the same could be done here for this discussion. And the collectors in that community could send to whomever they want to in the discussion, so that we could all learn. Thereby protecting the identities of those who may be reluctant to post, but have either information or examples to look at that may be of interest.
