Eickhorn Parade Bayonet

[leej11]

Been a while since I picked up a new dagger or anything like that but when I found this at a flömarkt I had to have it mainly because its a Eickhorn I do have a question about the frog. Is there any difference in having a brown or a black one?

Hi Lee, brown leather is for the Luftwaffe.

Nice buy!

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade I knew you would like it And thanks for clearing that up for me as the other one that my Grandfather brought back is black. Too much frankenstein stuff out there like the last stuff I posted a while back but this was a good safe buy even though they are common I like it since its my first Eickhorn

Thanks guys!

Pammy All your blades are wonderfull and I look forward to seeing the new one

Nice bayo indeed, showing the, so called, "carbine-blade".

But:
As far as I know also in the Wehrmacht-Heer brown frogs were used together with the Extra-Seitengewehr, ("dress bayonet"), not only in the Wehrmacht-Luftwaffe.

Hi Lee, that is a very nice parade and looks to be in great condition. Nice find!
