Hopefully, this thread will get a better response than the one that I started a while back on Pack etches.

Holler was a prolific maker and marketer of etched bayonets. Their etch patterns, unlike those of E.Pack or Eickhorn or Puma, were sold to other manufacturers, like Alcoso, Horster, Herder, WKC, etc.

Their etch patterns are unique, a delight for the eyes and prolific.

I will start with Alcoso.

The first etch I am showing here is NOT a Holler pattern, but seems only to appear on Alcoso marked bayonets. I show it here for the sake of completeness since I will be showing other ACS etches by Holler.

This is a standard Neutral etch that could be sold to all services and a picture of this appears on page 94 of Wayne Techet's great book, German Etched Dress Bayonets.

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.
