Well done Bruce and Merry Christmas to all. Posting this one up for the good of the cause but if I were the winner draw again as I have (and treasure) Volume II.

Welcome to the forum. Post in whichever sub-forum below is most appropriate depending upon the period of manufacture and/or use. If truly a general question go with "The Nazi Period." If necessary a Moderator can always move the post.

Roger that, happy to help. Send me a DM if you could use some pics of the front stock area or elsewhere for your project. Good luck .....

The stock on my rifle is 26.25 inches in length. Please note however this is the modified Kriegsmodell K98k type stock so it may not be what you are looking for .....

Quit "can teasing" us and show some pics of the rg34 ......

Welcome, Sir. Glad to have you are here .....

Pushing this back to the top. Thanks to all our members that have contributed. Much appreciated! Still looking for additional information as noted in the initial post. No details are too small!!

My meager contribution ...... https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/byf44-built-on-an-ar43-receiver.7441/#post-50308

The marking on the frog is REINHOLD ADAM > OBERURSEL (TANUS) > 1937 for the firm of Reinhold Adam Sattlerwaren-Fabrik, Oberursel/Taunus in Hesse.

That is exactly what it means. No letter block through late e block are marked P. Weyersburg with 40 on the spine. The scabbards P. Weyersberg > 1940

Love the frog especially. Did not have this maker recorded for a leather frog in 1941. Most of their production was web tropical pieces ....

Thanks for posting Mike. The "crs" > 40 trademark begins in the late e block and runs to the end of 1940 production .......

Very nice S14 Type II bayonet. As Andrej indicated, in collector terminology a "Gottscho" bayonet colloquially based on the maker. In this case with the "crucible" Gottscho-Rothgiesser (RG) maker's stamp with long R. This example is in the S series with the SS stamping above/left of the...

These bayonets were produced in the summer 1944. Evidence suggests that the 44asw bayonet stamping dies were worn-out or damaged and the older 43asw dies were pressed into service and then mated with matching 44asw scabbards. Bayonets used a different stamping die than those of the scabbard...

As pwcosol noted, the grips are fine. Most of the late ones (they end in the H block) are phenolic scales but there wood grips randomly encountered as well. Nice piece and a late one.

As Andrej indicated, the 45 is a "bench" or assembly number which was applied to various components during the process of refurbishing the bayonet. Not date relative.

They made somewhere in the area of 15 to 20.000 in 1935. Lower end of that range for a total.

Pretty sure that I have a post-war HKW of this pattern. Will check ....

Old thread but some additional thoughts on the arr>4 marking that might be of interest. arr>41 marking from a MG34 Öl- und Petroleumbehälter. And an arr>42 stamping found on a Patronenkasten 34. Can was originally finished in feldgrau paint over red primer with ordnance tan paint added during...

Very interesting. Personally, I do not see this as the same font/style CNX stamping as found on the late rg34. The ES WaA20 is also of a different form. Unrelated to the late Appel/Hawig/Mundlos connection IMO. My thoughts only .....
