Jager WKC Dress Bayo

[wiendolch]

Hello,
I don't think i shared pictures of this Dress Bayo i got around christmas time, so here's some pictures. The felt is green for Jager i believe. What do you think?
Not sure if i want to sell or hold onto it, what's the market like on these right now, bayo's are not my main topic of knowledge.

Frog and blade pad match perfect no doubt original to bayo, the frog is somewhat tight to the scabbard like it shrunk over time. The pad i tried to move while waxing the blade but will not budge.

Green felt in slot, that was a welcomed surprise when i opened the package.

Frog and bayo hilt reverse.

This is the only draw back, a little lifting from wear / rubbing on the frog during period wear i'm guessing. sorry about the blurry pic!

last one. The screw is unturned on the scabbard.

Hi Eric,

I believe the green felt indicates is a dress bayonet for a member of the Luftwaffe.So it has the correct brown frog.I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
Congrats,it's a great piece.

Kind regards,

Jeremy
