ASW 42 Bayonet
Hello, everyone! Hope all is well. I acquired this bayonet a few months ago and never really figured out what the frog was marked as? It is Luftwaffe, right?
If anyone knows info on it please share! Would appreciate it
L.B.A. (S) BeK LL.-Lg . XII (as best as i could make it out)
1938 Dresden
And the maker name above I can't make out but "LAGE"
The frog has the Luftwaffe L.B.A. mark as well as a unit mark, and date. Hopefully someone can specify the unit.
Cheers, Warbuff!
42 ASW belongs to the EF Horster Company..and was produced in 1942 see this link here for all codes k98 bayonets data and registry
Scabbard and Bayonet have mismatched numbering..but yet still very desirable and collectable. The Bayo Guys will be able to give more insight on the bayonet..and the frog hanger. Regards Larry

Not much to add with what Larry said nice set anyway Luft LBA marked ones are very desirable frogs for the 84/98 according to Wheeler in 42 wooden grips did reappear that one has the darker bakelite grips of pre 43 orange red colored ones. timothy
What is the LBA about? LW is not my area.
LBA Luftwaffe Bekleidungsamt or airforce clothing depot I have seen buckle tabs, tunics, caps and bayonet frogs stamped LBA I have it in a tunic and belt tab on Luftwaffe buckle made in 1936. timothy
Not bayonet related but example of Luftwaffe LBA mark in tunic, and buckle tab. Hope you don't mind showing in your thread. timothy
No worries! thanks for the info
Hallo,
there is a L.B.A. (S). This is the Luftwaffe Bekleidungsamt Sonneberg/Thüringen.
Three exist... one in Berlin/Bernau (LBA or LBA B), one in Bielefeld (LBA Bf) and one in Sonneberg ( LBA(S) ).
Bekl L.-Lg . XII = Bekleidungslager Luftgaukommando XII
Where can I find info on the Bekleidungslager Luftgaukommando XII? and what was their purpose?
Thanks for the info, Really appreciate it.
