Thanks pam. yes, I guess Elite Diamant was a bicycle maker in the early days of ww2 and are STILL making bicycles in germany to this day! definitely pretty neat huh? Thanks for commenting too. I also heard that elite diamant only made bayonets for wartime production from 1938 to 1941....is this true?? i couldnt find an answer on google/etc. i forget where i even heard that too, so if anyone knows i would appreciate hearing any info.

I have seen that data/registry Site Richie. It is great that some1 takes the time in registering that data/ information for peoples personal benefit and use.
