    1. No pic, but it's W06. Francois No. The two field regiments were not part of the DSWA schutztruppe. It was an expeditionary force sent by Wilhem II from Germany on May 1904 to help the schutztruppe which wasn't strong enough to fight the herrero rebels François
    2. Hi Here's a bad picture of the 98/02 guard. It's hard to read the marking because this bayonet was in a very bad shape and it has been restored and polished. The grips have been replaced by modern reproductions. With the help of a magnifier, I can read "2.F.R. blank .12" Unfortunately, no scabbard. Francois
    3. Yes, you 're right. On the bayonet guard, the "7" is 4 mm high and the other numbers are 3 mm high. On the scabbard, they are all 3 mm high. I'll try to take a good picture of the 98/02. Francois
    4. Hi all New on the site, I'm from France and I collect sawback german bayonets. I've read with a great interest this very interesting thread. I have a very nice W04 kS98 Erfurt from GSWA, marked K.S.3175 on bayonet and scabbard, with the specific leather frog for africa with 8 rivets instead of six (marked K.A.1906) I also have a W06 98/02 Erfurt marked 2.F.R. . 12 Are you sure that the F.R. marking is for "Field Regiment" in GSWA, during the herrero rebellion? I didn't know that GSWA got the 98/02 bayonet. Francois
