I am very impressed with your bayonets. Where do you live???? Regards Dimitrios thank you Dimitrios, I'm in the USA California.

There's a similar marked s98nA in Roy Williams German Bayonets Part 1 on page 372. It's marked Lst. B. Frbg. 3R 175. Since the bayonet is Saxon I'm guessing this is Landsturm Battalion Freiburg. Can you post a photo of the date/cypher of the 4.G.G marked s98aA bayonet? The one posted next to the 4.G.G is of the Lst marked bayonet. -Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you zoom in you can read Lst on the side, it also has nA type grips, but the bayonet in the pic below it has aA grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1871 Posted 13 June , 2019 Share Posted 13 June , 2019 Yes, you are right Motojosh, that spine pic belongs with the Landstrum bayonet pic's , thanks will try fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1871 Posted 13 June , 2019 Share Posted 13 June , 2019 Sorry guys, I had deleted so many pic's. , bad quality, some of my pic's remaining got mixed up. One pic, I put with wrong bayonet. On last page of this post (19) I show an early S98aA with bayonet/scabbard 4.G.G.7.80. And 4.G.R.9.16 the pic of the spine with Saxon and 05' date is for the other bayonet, Landstrum unit with steel scabbard, . I called the seller, but not too long ago, he checked and tells me the date on that early piece (trial's?) 4.G.G.7.80 is dated 99', sorry for the confusion there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted 23 June , 2019 Share Posted 23 June , 2019 (edited) Hello I am kinda new to this but I think I understand kinda how these markings work. But if there is someone out there that could confirm what I think it would be great..sorry if this is a stupid question but I gotta learn somehow. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Oh I also have 4 other bayonets I need help with figuring them out so if this post gets a response I will post the others. I think they are all very nice and in good condition to.

Again thank u Hi Boomstick, and as I tell my students, no such thing as a stupid question! That first one is 'B.K.15'? right? On a S.98? Looks to me as possibly Bezirks Kommando waffe 15. So a regional command weapon - but these usually / should - I think - have an initial or a number after the 'K' to indicate where... Needs some thought... The scabbard is no problem - 108 Regiment, company 12, weapon 217. The 108th was the Kgl. Sächs. Schützen (Füsilier)-Regiment Prinz Georg Nr. 108 We are always happy to see marked bayonets here so post away! Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajan Posted 31 August , 2019 Author Share Posted 31 August , 2019 Hello and welcome! A new one to me! Some makers do have odd extra stamps on crossguards, etc., but I haven't seen this one before, on the choil of a bayonet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStaffsPOW Posted 5 November , 2019 Share Posted 5 November , 2019 This S98 was brought in to a local show I was at, and I was lucky enough to be able to purchase it fresh from the attic so to speak. 112th Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 6 November , 2019 Author Share Posted 6 November , 2019 Oh how lovely! A VERY nice find! Matching scabbard also!!! 4. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Wilhelm Nr. 112 - but I guess you know that! What's the date? Is it '08'? That would, I think, make it a late one for Baden. So probably '06'? And ERFURT or P.D.LUNESCHLOSS? Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStaffsPOW Posted 6 November , 2019 Share Posted 6 November , 2019 Ah, sorry, forgot to post maker's mark but it is Erfurt. The dare appears to have been a bit poorly stamped so a little hard to see with the naked eye but I had thought it was 06. Yes, I thought it was the 4. Badisches, but good to have it confirmed. Apparently part of the 29th Division who were active throughout the invasion of France, Somme, Verdun and the 100 Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 7 November , 2019 Author Share Posted 7 November , 2019 06 and Erfurt fit nicely with other ones issued to that unit. As I said, a nice one... Nah, I am not jealous... Just - shall we say? - envious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajan Posted 23 November , 2019 Author Share Posted 23 November , 2019 (edited) Thanks Andy, Not easy to find unit marked bayonets never mind unit-marked 98/05 aA's in Turkey!

AndyBsk Posted 24 November , 2019 Share Posted 24 November , 2019 S98/05aA are in majority unit marked, in war the newer S98/05nA are harder to find with units, but here in thread are enough examples for comparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuluwar2006 Posted 7 December , 2019 Share Posted 7 December , 2019 I was surprised by this unit marking. Very strange : U. S. A. Any ideas??? On the spine of the blade W 16. Regards D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted 7 December , 2019 Share Posted 7 December , 2019 (edited) Hello! Unterwasser-Schneide-Abteilung (Underwater cutting detachment) We had seven detachments. So here: USA, 7th Detachement, 3rd company, 9th weapon. They were among the railway pioneers; their task was to separate underwater bridge debris from destroyed bridges, which had to be cleared away due to flood damming and ice drift so as not to endanger the newly built bridges.

Steve1871 Posted 7 December , 2019 Share Posted 7 December , 2019 Thanks for posting this, Demitrios and you Andy for being most likely the only one who could solve the mystery, also in record time and with photo’s for “ Icing on the Cake” so to speak. The more specialized the units, the rarer they are, so this unit type, sub specialist type makes the unit rare, to very rare . A true gem for regimental markings. Andy, you have a really great “unit” library these, you sent me a “ few” as you said, being a ton of pages of list and books, documents to make my poor little head spin. Again, thanks to you both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
