Oh, one of the very rare troddels with six black stripes in the band and one black/two white strands in the acorn! The bayonet really looks interesting and the etching seems well excuted. I would not mind a combat frog on a walk out bayonet because 1 we never know when it was married and 2 when material became bad (-Ersatzmaterial-) I can imagine somebody did use a better durable frog and we know also the oddest combinations from the period.
I am no expert in this but is the font also KLAAS or only the side ornaments or better have we noticed such distinct font in other etchings of KLAAS or another maker?
Regards,
