Worth the wait, beautiful coat.

Eric

Top row middle left please.... I need it for my new greatcoat....

When your quite finished I'll take what's left!

Thats a scarce ersatz....

strangely enough, I have just the same and it also just happens to have stamps.... 3.E.M.G.K.299 or 3.F.M.G.K.299

I have another unit stamped Bayonet somwhere... ALSO MG unit.... im fact, most stamped ones I see are MG units for some reason...

Love to see them Chris

The 84/98 is pretty rare too according to Smithy. The all steel round water can hasn't turned up yet, soon I hope. I'd love a leather drag strap but its tough tough......

Eric

MGSST or MGA badges and a Festung-MG-Abteilungen 14th company bayonet knot

Gurtfuller 16 I acquired of a nice gent on waf looks like it was hardly used. It's frozen and have to work on it when time permits.

Drag/equipment carry straps ersatz material.

Scarce ersatz cost me a bucket I like it because of the MG designation.

Eric
