"Plus you have the single ring nickel-plated scabbard...Weimer dress. Even so - it's a fabuloius specimen. This, along with your Army dirk and SA dagger, and you have a wonderful ensemble. "

"If that is the only marking, then I'm with you - 99% Weimar. I have several Imperial items and they all have provential markings along with ruling monach. "

"I am guessing this to be Weimar because it has knights head over wkc solingen but idk for sure it could be imperial. "

"Here's a great article regarding bayonet frogs for the IJA bayonet from the War Relics Forum: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/japanese-militaria/how-date-frog-790563/ You may or may not see yours, but it's a good read nonetheless."

I know I one of my comments sound like I'm talking smack...trust me, it's my envy speaking! While collecting is said to be a non-competitve sport, I will sometimes beg to differ. Not so much in the collecting...but in the "one up-manship". Of course, you started it....so now we must answer by adding to your thread by showing some of ours. Not to say whose is better...no no...more to say "look, I got one too!"

Again, you have some fabuloust pieces. We're all about the photos....and we can't wait until you release more to us.

Yepper - welcome to iKC....let's have some fun!
