Tag des Deutschen Handwerks 1939
Metal - 32,5 mm

Hi Everyone,
At the collectors club last night, alway a bit of horse trading going on, bought this long Mountain Troop Dress Bayonet with deer antlers handles, frog (L. Krumm - Langhardt 1941) and green felt (jager) in handle slit. Normally, I like buy an item with a makers maker on it. This bayonet has only Solingen stamped on it, which - other collectors explained to me is a umbrella stamp used by makers based in Solingen area. To me, it seems strange that they are prepared to stamp other bayonets with makers maker - then use a collective stamp for Mountain Troop Dress Bayonets. Anyone have any information on this practise.
Regards

Hi Leigh Kitchen,
Thanks for your excellent posting, packed with information. I bought the bayonet, looking through the internet I've had a crash course on German bayonets and their markings, looking over the newly bought one (1st Picture) I found stamping on bayonets back, a crown, the initial W, number 17,which I think, tells me Prussian, made in the reign of Wilhelm 2, in the year 1917. 2nd picture crown stamp on hilt - 3d picture has crown & W initial on the scabbard throat.
Regards & thanks again for your trouble

Hi Everyone,
Last Saturday I was at a collectors meeting. One collector brought a number of different daggers for sale - one I'm interested in is WW1 German Bayonet with a saw edge, hes asking 200 euro - I'm not too well informed on bayonets. Do members think its genuine not a composite bayonet and is priced right, any help and information appreciated.
Best Wishes

Hello Brian,
Thanks for the tip, to tell the truth, I'd never given it a thought about preserving the finish. I do keep my bayonets & daggers together in sealed plastic bags, my thinking being airtight = no rust. But I see your point, I'll go tomorrow buy some Vaseline coat the blades, then store the blades & scabbards separately - Vaseline I take it is an acceptable preservative ?
Regards Alec

Hi Everyone,
I finally got my first NSKK dagger. Not in the same pristine condition as some of the ones already posted, but still not so bad.
Last weekend I was at the Military Fair in Gunzenhausen, its predominately a medals fair with a bit of equipment thrown in. I did however meet a dealer who I know a little - he offered me two daggers NSKK (which I bought) and a Red Cross Hewer both priced at 450 euro. The condition of the NSKK was better and had the hanging strap, so I took it, here's the NSKK dagger photos.

Hello Gentlemen,
Thanks everyone for their cogent and multifarious posts. The most negative thing uppermost in my mind, was the thought of buying the medal (at a good price) then finding I couldn't remove enough of the tobacco stains, making the buying price a bad one. Last night after leaving the pub, I decided to go for it, called by the sellers home, picked it up. At home, laid the medal on the table, spat on it, then rubbed it with a handkerchief - spit and elbow grease - abracadabra this came out. I'm happy with the result - now to start thinking, how to clean up the ribbon. Once again thanks everyone for the impute.
Best Wishes

Thanks for the posts,
If I try your recommendations - How good a result can I expect ? poor, moderately good, good, is tobacco smoke so hard to remove ? other examples of this medal show the enamel is pearly white, mine is a long way short.
