double etchted bayo

hello,

Noticed posting of a double etched bayo and I checked some of my old photos
from my collection for a bayo I had for some time and thought to post it for some feedback as I know very little about it , thanks .

Helo j.willig, I'll just cut the chase, your double etched bayonet is 100% correct!! The obverse is Holler's etch #ES 104, value rating is very common. The reverse side etch in Hollers catalog is #ES 102, however this etch belonging to a artillery regiment is a little less seen in today's market. The distributor mark HANS PREM AMBERG is also well known and correct. There are way too many repro's out there, and I really had to look it over, and I mean REALLY look it over, but what you have is a good piece. If at anytime you would like an offer to possible part with this piece, drop me a line. Congats on owning a fine piece of history, it would be a pleasure to add this piece to the couple that I own. Hope to talk soon!!!

I agree with Mat. Great double etch on a short blade. The artillery dedication makes this very desirable.

double etched bayonet

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback and information . I didn't know these were also done reproduction and glad to here this is good because I did buy it from a member on this forum .

There are tons of Höller fake etches out there. The thing that makes it tough to tell is Höller etches are generally considered "sloppy" by comparison to some of the other etch makers & this tends to disguise the normal issues that would be so obvious on a Klaas or Pack etch, for example. Your item seems completely period so I'd be happy with it.
