Mountain Troop - Long Dress Bayonet

[AlecH]

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
