Serial number on both sides of the scabbard? Re-used by Soviets?
-
Hi Narcis; no, s/n only on one side. On the other is stamped “43 cvl”, partially covered by the paint.
-
The only thing I can offer is that on my monitor that looks like the shade of green used by the former Jugoslavian Army on just about all their field equipment and as we know they used masses of ex-Wehrmacht weaponry.

Thanks Mark, this is a clue

It's all authentic, WKC made 1943, serial numbers match, wood grips correct and appear untouched. The blade does appear to be sharpened, certainly something abrasive has run down the blade edge. Paint is probably post war as suggested by Mark.

Its a matcher!!!
So that's a win.
I'm not a frog Guy, but that looks German WW2 , But not a frog Guy, so don't quote me!!!!
If that is a WW2 German/ Yugo reissue , Its sure has seen its share of War!!!

I'd second the idea of it being Yugoslavian reissued. The 'pea green' paint is a very distinct shade. It would also make sense, given Yugoslavia's use of both reissued German and Zastava M48 rifles.

yugoslavia never paint bayonets (such a color was used by the Bulgarians and can be seen on the bayonets of the ww1,ww2)
if he used in yugoslavija it would have new numbers typed on the scabbard and knife.
