Help about NSFK

[jwh44]

Hello

I have recently got a K98 bayonet with I suppose a NSFK stamp. This bayonet is a commercial K98 marked WKC without any other markings (no WaA, no date, no serial number).
I would like to know if there were troops in arms in the NSFK and which kind of weapons they had? Maybe troops to secure the airfields ?
Here is a photo of this marking. What do you feel about and do you know some other weapons with this marking ?

Thanks in advance

To my knowledge, NSFK never formed any combat units.

That's correct. But they had military training. There are photos of NSFK men with rifles.

The stamp looks very odd and I wonder if this is a post war enhancement?

Not sure whether the stamp is genuine but the NSFK did form paramilitary units in Hitler's Germany so it is conceivable they would have stamped military items to quote from the jewishvirtuallibrary website:
National Socialist Flyers Corps
The National Socialist Flyers Corps was a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party that was founded in the early 1930s during the years when a German Air Force was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. The organization was based closely on the organization of the Sturmabteilung (SA) and maintained a system of paramilitary ranks closely associated with the SA.
During the early years of its existence, the NSFK conducted military aviation training in gliders and private airplanes. When Nazi Germany formed the Luftwaffe, many NSFK members transferred. As all such prior NSFK members were also Nazi Party members; this gave the new Luftwaffe a strong Nazi ideological base in constrast to the other branches of the German military, who were comprised of “Old Guard” officers from the German aristocracy.
The National Socialist Flyers Corps continued to exist after the Luftwaffe was founded, but to a much smaller degree. During World War II, the NSFK mainly performed air defense duties such as reserve anti-aircraft service.
