And a WaA20 no less ......

Have found sandpaper in many, MANY rg34 ....... Keep as is

It's a good book (although in my opinion a little disorganized) but we know more now than we did when published. And all books have errors .....

ros > 1944 for the maker E. G. Leuner GmBH, Bautzen. Nice late war example ......

Thanks for this. I will add the information to my database.

0/0676/0039 is the Reichsbetriebsnummer (RBNr) for an unknown maker. They also made bayonet frogs and other items with the same or similar marking(s). On some occasions the marking is in three lines with an added date; 42 or 43. Your pouch dates from the same period. The firm was located in...

Good post. Lots of combinations can be encountered on these late chains. Especially when you factor in the type of loop or toggle and the beads behind, As you have noted some have more beads than others. Have seen as few as none and as many as four. And as asserted the construction and...

When was the last time you saw an original example for sale? Very fair price. My thoughts only ......

Edged Weapon Accouterments of Germany 1800 - 1945 by Heinrich Kreutz et al. In my opinion/experience the best single source reference for bayonet Faustriemen, Portepees and Troddeln. Covers accouterments for most all swords, daggers and bayonets of the periods specified. Includes scores of...

What survived; what we see; and what has been recorded are for the most part merely at random or by coincidence. In a completely filled run of serial numbers 1 to 10.000 the chances of observing/recording any individual serial number are the same; 1 in 10.000. Regardless of the number in...

My apologies in advance. Still pretty cool though. In reality, 44cvl 1945a from the late Arvo Sagur collection .......

I'm sorry but this is flawed thinking. Working from the estimated grand total of rifles (or bayonets, or whatever) produced and dividing that number by 10.000 does not provide for an accurate amount of pieces with a 10000 serial number. One must look at the aggregate, not the total and by that...

The second pic (receiver close-up) is from this forum and had been discussed here: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/serial-number-10-000-rifle.52752/#post-401406 German serial numbers were assigned in blocks of 10000 NOT 9999. This applies to rifles, pistols, machineguns, bayonets, and...

The color is fine. Period original. Have a number of Braunschweigische (arr) cans in this darker shade. Oil bottle is post war as you suggested ......

There are a couple of LLG or LAGO concerns that used a L _ _ suffix to represent the date (L36, L41, etc). So the L37 marking could be in that arena. Only problem with this theory is that the frog in question appears to be earlier than the LLG cooperatives. Then again we see new things all of...

I'm thinking that I see something vaguely familiar ........ jwh41 is not an easy find in any condition and that is beaut. They really look great together Andrew!

The OP frog is not for my collection. As already described the marking has been faked and applied to many items. The frog here is a late type circa 1943 or '44 and the stamping is too early to be original. Andrej is correct on the steel rivets as well. Coupled with the fact that the frog has...

Interesting discovery and discussion guys. Pulled out my field manuals to check. Of the type in question, I have only two of the "Unveranderter Nachdruck Nov. 44" booklets. Both of mine have the double sided addendum page. In both examples the added page is glued onto the last (blank) page...

Old post I know but the marking on the sling is Kern Kläger & Cie > 1939 > Berlin .....
