UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons The BCN Bayonet Forum Etches By Holler

This double etched WKC came from the latest Craig auction.

I wanted this etch since it would complement a dedication that I already had in my collection, but on an Eickhorn marked blade.

It is a long blade and has the neutral army etch and army eagle made by Holler for WKC. You can see this etch on page 235 of Wayne's book marked as 'A'. I already had a version of this neutral etch, marked 'B' in my collection, but this was a neat plus to what I had originally wanted to get.

The obverse etch is dedicated to the 41st Infantry Regiment out of Amberg (see page 237 of Wayne's book). Now, it is pretty easy to find this Infantry Regiment dedication on an Eickhorn etch, but not so much on a WKC etch.

And, as we know, WKC blades were etched by Holler.
