Hans Prem - Amberg K98 dress bayonet by W. Höller of Solingen

[all1knew]

Hello all,

Here's a beauty I have in my personal collection that I thought I would share with you. I believe the knot is from the 1st Infantry and the frog is marked Carl Hepting & Co. STGT. Feuerbach 1941 on the reverse. Waffenamt WaA179 as well. Can anyone please shed some light on what Hans Prem of Amberg is exactly, perhaps a retail shop that distributed Höller bayonets? Also, anyone else have a frog with similar markings or can tell me what STGT. would stand for? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and thanks for looking!

according to wikipedia WaA179 belongs to:

jkh Carl Busse Mainz

is STGT. perhaps an abbreviation for Stuttgart?

Hello William,

Your bayonet knot is for the first company, 1st battalion.

The frog IMO is a fake.

Material, stamps, color are not like the original. WaA stamps are bogus...

In 1941 Carl Hepting Stuttgart made frogs in buff leather without color.

the maker stamp is very worse...

brown laque + Alloy rivets was last used in 1940.... and not in 1941

William, I'm very sorry to have to say that I'm in agreement with Sleeepwalker's basic assessment. Regards, Fred
