Hello, to Your consecutive numbers and 45 date, we dont see the date stamp, but i believe both could be only when the scabbards are matching made by 2 fabrics Eickhorn or Hoerster, no other fabric used the doubble letter producing, when i assume its a wood grips it could be a Eickhorn 43 production from letter aa. Or Hoerster 1944 production, but the grips should be plastic and riveted, the serial numbers could be done by the contractor, certainly too nice for a 45 dated camp grips, the overall finish looks like 1943 and i believe it should be 1943 production.
To Lugers i am not expert on this here but all pictured all reworks of WW1 so when there was a N proof added i probably hard to determine, the other production speaks about switch to Eagle/N in early 1939, it would be nice to know more about the lazy S DH on the bayonet its a WKC blanko piece?
The single rune piece is probably a blanko with added stamp, it doesnt look like a rework.best regards,Andy
Good to have you back again.
