HJ with unknown maker

[Tsuba]

Hi everyone

I have this HJ with the maker Grawiso on the blade. Was wondering if anyone has seen this one or knows a bit more about it. I wrote to Tom Johnson in 1986 and at that stage he had not heard of it and thought it must have been a very small cottage producer.

Any comments welcome.

Regards

There was a discussion and Colorado had one a few years back. Here's the link.

Also a list compiled by Russ N. over at GDC of HJ makers and yours is mentioned.

Gebr. Gr******228;fath also manufactured K98 bayonets and the occasional fireman's bayonet as well. The Gr******228;wiso mark is not often seen on bayonets. I seem to remember seeing one of their catalogues years back and I think they made hirschf******228;ngers too.
