It is original (real). Not at all rare; but extremely desirable in the collecting community. If someone desires only a single S84/98 in their collection, this is the one. Value is whatever the market will bear. As an example, there is a very nice one in the same letter block currently listed...

Paul has indicated that this is "Teil One" with additional volumes to follow dedicated to other accessories; magazine pouches, tools, manuals, etc. Hope this comes to fruition ....

Yes, the sight removal/replacement (fixed) was part of the Police conversion process. Mine is 1920 stamped with two different Police unit markings. An older unit partially removed but still legible with an additional unit stamped nearby. Very interesting pistols in my opinion .....

I remember this piece well. The single WaA519 has been almost completely removed (scrubbed) which dates the piece to middle/late 1944. Personally; not a fan of the MERZ-WERKE marking on this bayonet. An embellishment I'm afraid .....

Must have reference if you have any interest in these rifles. I had mine off the shelf just the other day .....

Very nice. Let us know the barrel code if you take her down. Thanks ......

I have an extensive data base for recorded examples of the VG5 / VK98 including many details. What exactly are you looking for?

A ten year old necro-post that I'm pushing to the top. Still looking for thoughts on this rifle and the unit markings. Many thanks in advance .....

Many (but not all) of the ab44 in the f block have the f stamped upside-down under the serial number. Some of us thought these were j block when we were first compiling the production data.

Yeah, looks like it is. Page 209

Bumping this thread to ask @mrfarb if he has any luck finding this document to post ......? Would very muck like to review.

As always, you come up with some really great items Len! Thanks for sharing ......

"Marked cux inside the lid (very rare maker)."

The 4737 piece mention above is an orphaned scabbard only. It is however stamped with a WaA519 on the finial ball. Jacobi no longer owns it. The WaA519 stamps are completely random as far as when observed - some early examples do not have the marking - some late examples do. The latest...

Asked and answered. Thanks for the responses .....

Great find Len, congrats! I have a database of 1945 S84/98. The 45crs are a mixed bag as far as pommel WaA. Some have the WaA, others do not. It's probably a bit over 50% are WaA pommel stamped. Would also be interested in the scabbard WaA at the finial ball. Is there a SW WaA519 on the...

Very nice rig and 100% original in all components. That said, who knows if the web frog was originally with this bayonet. Sellers, collectors and GIs all have a way of swapping things around. The marking on the frog is Wiko > Brake b/Blf. > 1942 for the firm of Wittkop & Cie. Metall und...

Have just about given up finding a reasonably priced copy of J.P. Sauer & Sohn: A Historical Study of the Hunting & Sporting Guns Made By the Original Company 1751-1945 by Jim Cate. Does anyone here have a copy? If so, looking for some information from a specific section of the book. If you...
