Double Dated matching E. u. F. Horster 44ASW K98 bayonet & Scabbard

[kriegsmodell]

And if my memory is serving me correctly in that late production serial number range it might or might not have a welded subcontracted scabbard from 'can' (August Wallmeyer,Thuringen).

43/44asw with subcontracted can marked scabbards are confirmed in the p, t, and u blocks of production. Almost all of the recorded examples have been in the t block. On some examples the can maker's code is completely extant with the Hörster markings simply stamped over the top. On other occasions the can marking was partially or nearly completely ground away prior to the application of the Hörster stampings.
