The first one is made by Demag. It is original.

This guard can also be found on the Demag crank handle bayonets as well.

Thank you all for the help!

I bought the first one and will update the pictures in the top post for reference once it's arrived.

Best regards,

we all learn something new. oil over the years will discolor wood. it was applied to water proof the wood and keep it from swelling up and pulling off of the iron pins/rivets in the wet trenches for month's on end.
