Thanks, guys.
Before I go for breakfast (it's 0630 here in Calgaryland), I want to show you this one Holler etch.
On a R.A.Herder marked bayonet, it is somewhat unique. All Herder etches that you will find would have been produced by Klaas, except for this one. Why? Who knows.
It is a short single etched version dedicated to Panzer Regiment 1 out of Erfurt. This etch is pictured on page 220. You don't often find dedications to Panzer units.
FYI, the 1st Panzer Regiment out of Erfurt and the 2nd Regiment out of Eisenach were combined with the 1st Schutzen Brigade, the 4th Reconnaissance Company, the 37th Artillery Regiment and the 37th Communications Company into the 1st Panzer Division in 1935. The 2nd Division was involved in the occupation of Austria, but the 1st Panzer Division, as a complete unit, had its debut in the invasion of Poland in 1939.
