    Help - Bayonett identification

    Hello!
    I got a question for you all. I have a German bayonet at home which I'm trying to identify if it is an original or not.
    The name of the manufacturer is "fze" and production number "5107 d"
    On the scabbard it says "S/241 G" and number "6441"
    What I find rather peculiar is that I find no year of production.

    My question is as follows; Is this an original or a post war or a reproduction?

    Many regards
    Fredrik

    From the pics provided it looks all original. Typically there should be a date before or after the FZE (eg. 44 fze) . On the scabbard the piece is dated 1935, the G denotes the date. It's an early scabbard married to a late bayonet.

      Hello
      FZE is for the maker F. W. Holler from 1940 to the end of the war.
      S/241 G is for the maket Clemen und Jung. G iis for 1935.
      Regards
      Alain

        The bayonet when only fze marked, should have a 40 on spine of blade, the blade is unfortunally cleaned, sharpened and retipped. Not extra condition.

          Thanks for all your help!

          AndyB: It do say 40 on the spine of the blade. What does that mean?
