Ok, guy's you have me....Herbert Fleischenberg is NOT listed in the newer edition of Anthony's Carter's Book (a GREAT BOOK to be sure). The REASON Fleischenberg is NOT listed is because the store was NOT a "GERMAN KNIFE and SWORD MAKER" they did not MAKE anything, they were a DISTRIBUTOR. If you must have PROOF please visit Terry L. Kissinger's "German WW II Dress Bayonet Guide & Record Book. Put an emphasis on Bayonet please. Go to page 17, do I have to read it for you. The Fleischenberg business was JUST a STORE front. Enjoy the etched bayonet for what it is.
