Thanks, Paul.

Two more to go.

As stated before, there are two major versions of the No 6 Infantry etch, the earlier on and the one listed in the catalogue is the No Oak version, an infantry soldier holding his K98 rifle walking through a field. If there is a unit dedication, it is typically found on the reverse side as a one line entry, as in this case.

However, look at the lettering on the dedication, it is in a script not the usually found block lettering.

And, it is with a Pioniere style hilt.

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.
