Nice bayonet,the German letters I & J are interchangeable,so it could be Infantry Regiment.....Pete. ( but I`ve been wrong before )

Nice military bayonet 84/98 in what is referred to by collectors as mounted frog. My friend has a similar marked frog. ASW E.u.F. Horster built in 1942 I don't know on the JR no I have read as stated could be Infantry Reg or a Jager. Hopefully someone can tell you what they think. We have some good experts here on this thread. timothy

click over the highlighted titles which will take you to that thread of info. Great stuff there for this type of collecting

Thanks for all the info , hopefully someone will give info on it being an infantry division number or a jäger division or maybe it points to something else.

Since 1939 this type of frog was introduced for the whole Heer (Army).

5./ JR 79 I = 5. Kompanie, Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 79 , I. (equimpent) set
