Giles, Congratulations for a pair of good examples of the evolution of blade making in Solingen during wartime. During the TR era the old traditional method of rust bluing of the Imperial era disappeared as did some other things, to be replaced by the black oxide "hot dip" bluing process. German industry also venturing into the phosphate type finishes (sometimes called "Parkerizing") that had wider acceptance elsewhere for military production (as well as some later TR period zinc based daggers). Of course that was limited for a number of reasons not the least of which being that the war ended. FP
