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

While you guys were carousing at the MAX, I was carousing in the UK and Norway.

During my travels, I did find a large number of Norwegian items from both sides of the war.

And, I found a couple of German items as well.

This is a long single etch no maker marked bayonet. The etch patter is by Holler and was produced for the EF Horster company. This etch pattern is very similar to the Pack neutral pattern No 11, but is very much like the pattern by Holler shown on a Horster bayo on page 135 of Wayne's book.

It has two things going for it that made me want to add this to my collection.

1) the dedication to Geb Jaeger 99 is a hard to find dedication and I already have one such on a WKC bayonet (also produced by Holler).

2) there are subtle differences in the etch body, especially around the inside borders surrounding the dedication... I show this on one of the pictures.

Here it is,
