My collection SG 42 bayonet

[Reibert-Austria]

IM AUGE DES JAEGERS i bought it at the SOS a few years ago. The book had the soldiers signed picture in it. Believe an EK winner.

Sepp Allerberger was awarded with the Knight´s Cross and I met him several times.
Sepp died several yrs. ago.

BTW, Sepp didn´t wrote the book by himself.

collecting info is good but sharing it is better! i do have a german book written by a sniper that claims to have recieved one of the sg 42's in 1945???

On page 252 you can find an image of the Seitengewehr 42, but, as far as I know, Allerberger didn´t received such bayonet.

...

The SG 42 bayonet was revived in 1957, slightly modified, for use on the US Armalite rifle used by the Dutch Army. Later supplies of these bayonets and rifles were sold on to the Sudan.

...

As far as I know this bayonet is reffered to as M1958 and was adopted only by the Sudan together with the Dutch-made Armalite AR10 rifles.

This kind of bayonets were manufactured in Germany by Hubertus, Solingen by order of Interarmco and came in two different designs, (versions).
The 1st Model was delivered to the Sudan in 1959, the 2nd Model, (a modified version), followed in 1960.

the distance between leters cof is is diferent and the head of the WAa marking is straight, but it should be loking to the left. the multitool looks fine.
are you sure that you knife is an orinal. the kondition is just awesome!

Antons:

I am pretty sure of the originality of this. The 'cof' TMs used by Eickhorn did vary, see the difference between teh mark used on the 1941 and the 1944 versions of the K98 combat bayonet.

Everything else checks out on this... the plecement of the tool into the bayonet handle, the type of material on the scabbard, etc.
