I have only just got back into collecting WW2 German items after a fairly long hiatus, and after selling nearly all my old collection (well over 100 rifles, and a similar amount of bayonets to go with).
I am amazed as to how many KS98's, in all their variations, and the Fireman's and Police bayonets aand knives are available, especially compared to when I initially collected them!
Why is this? Were bulk amounts recently "found" somewhere? Vets / old soldiers who souvenired them, or in some cases the original wehrmacht owners, deciding to let them go???
Please don't tell me someone is repro'ing garden variety KS98's!!!
This question has probably been asked and answered, but humpour the new-comer please
I have a decent collection of the KS98's ammassed so far - most with original frogs and felt plugs (where true bayonets), but none with portopees.... gotta find a few.
