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.
