Do you agree with the following
Bayonet Maker--a company that produces a bayonet from parts they manufacture or in combination with parts purchased from another company.
Retailer/Distributor--a company/retailer that doesn't make bayonets but want their name stamped on a bayonet to resell or as gift to be given out for whatever reason.
Fisher has Curna as a maker of pocket knives, scissors, straight razors, safety razors, cutlery, and knives in 1922. He also lists Curna as a SA maker.
If Curna is a maker they may have had Eickhorn etch some of their blades or bought some Eickhorn blades w/o their TM but had theres stamped on them. If this is true then Wayne may need to revise his book. New things are coming to light everyday.
I have depended on reference books and opinons from the old collectors for years. As we all know we don't know everything about a lot of WWII edge weapons, badges, and etc. You can go to almost any forum and see new things coming to light.

I hope this bayonet is good, its good for the hobby.
