K98k Bayonet- My First one!

[Screaming Eagle]

Nice bayonet Eric!
Well, I did some research on the markings, and here is what I found:
Elite-Diamantwerk, Siegmar-Schönau bei Chemnitz

S/185

Elite Diamant

i

1934-1941

My bayonet has an "i" under the numbers which are 7855.
This works since my bayonet was made in 1940.

There are also these:
Alex Coppel GmbH, Solingen

S/173

Coppel G.m.b.H.

fnj

1934-1944
I know the fnj was one of the many codes made, I believe around 1942.

I have found all of the markings on the scabbard and the bayonet.

I will upload much better quality pictures when I get home.

The Mundlos 38 is very nice.congratulation. I assume there are WaA243 stamps.

I agree. I like the mundlos. Although it is not a rare maker for it's year...u gotta love the earlier examples. They have the most Waffenamp markings. I have yet to add a mundlos to my collection unfortunately. My first was a mismatched, but I dont bother with them anymore unless they are a really rare maker/year. It's crazy....you can grab mismatched bayos for 50-65USD on ebay all day long now. Then u see the dealer sites sellin em for 130 and sometimes more

you're right. I can't understand these "dealers" too. Their prices are too high. If not of Ebay, i don't think I will be collecting these TR stuffs. Btw, what's the rare marker/year for mundlos?
