Steve1871 Posted 6 December , 2023 Share Posted 6 December , 2023 Hey Andreas. With such a huge collection of those 98/05’s, you make me feel like a novice or “ Newbe” collector all over again. Icread somewhere that there were 62 regular makers, plus all the various double maker. Usually a regular contractor making the blade/ tang from steel blanks , send to one of main State arsenals, Erfurt seems the most popular. Then the two makers with both being contractors. Docyou have a full list of all maker Variations Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mortimer Posted 6 December , 2023 Share Posted 6 December , 2023 Steve, here's a french website I found where all the makers with the respective production dates and transitional models are listed. According to the website, there are 41 individual makers (not counting possible double stamps, but those are listed as well!) https://mesbaionnettes.com/index.php/baionnettes-allemandes-1898-05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1871 Posted 7 December , 2023 Share Posted 7 December , 2023 Thank you Sir Mortimer! Interesting sight. With over a million or much more 98/05’s produced pre war and war time, all those charts look to be what the web sights created has encountered? I do not know French. The list of maker names with image is very nice, but still, I have read in at least two book, there were 60-62 makers, not including double maker stamped bayonets. I am just a poor little upstart with 7-9? 98/05’s, maybe 6 makers total Anyway, thanks again for that site Sir Mortimer, will have to check it out better when I have time, driving, 2 hours left to drive to deliver 48,000 ( US) pounds canola oil in the morning. Take care Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBsk Posted 7 December , 2023 Share Posted 7 December , 2023 (edited) The maker number of S98/05 is offcoarse unreal, as some only delivered the blade blanks and never realised the full production, and some are finishers. the link presented have listed all makers of german bayonets since 1865 as W.R.Kirschbaum, Wilhelm Suhl, Coulaux Klingenthal didnt existed in 1900 already, same as there are variation of marking of same maker more as once. The book of Carter or new copy of Voronov lists major of the blank provider/maker finisher even with some errors still.

AND while I am at it - this is the third time today I have lost a post because of some new security system involving a car and a street pattern to see if I am human or not! Is it just me????
