Imperial Kriegsmarine etched Applicanten bayonet deluxe variant

Oleg that is a very nice combo you show here, great the hanger is there!
I always wanted one in good condition, but i got burned one time with a more then excellent repro, completely hand enhanced, and pics were showing what the seller wanted me to se, in hand i saw within seconds that the leather was altered, so no Aplikanten SG for me

I like yours a lot great handwork on that one, well in time i always find my target , in the meantime i can look at yours!
Thx for sharing.

Hello Anderson,
there is no maker’s mark on the blade. I assume WKC or Eickhorn, it's not easy for me to say it more precisely. It is also not easy to establish an exact production date. I assume the period from 1900 to 1916 years. I will try to find more accurate answers to these questions.
Best,
Oleg.

Hi Oleg,
Nice find, prime condition and with a hanger on it! Congratulations!
The Eickhorn 1912 catalog calls it Marine-Applikanten-Seitengewehr (catalog nr 562).
I am lucky to have the same model, personalized version.
Regards
Jakub

Any chance you could upload a photo of the catalogue page Jakub?

Oops, I hurried up a bit, looking at the scabbard details correct catalog number is 1076. (my dagger is 562)
