A very nice Clemen & Jung Customs. Probably the most common maker of this dagger and well known Customs supplier. Double trademarked, satin finished blade and plated scabbard fittings are traits of this manufacturer.

Thanks for this infos, but if i saw one it was a Eikhorn (maybe 3 or 4 Pices in the last two jears).

Great customs dagger!

Support for Ron's theory herunder: Clemen & Jung customs clamshell bayonet!

Best regards,

Victorman

My Customs clamshell is also by Clemen & Jung, waiting for a decent Customs knot to replace the Polizei knot there now.

This example was 3R produced & has a lightweight, aluminum hilt. The unusual thing about it is short 8" blade with wide blood groove. For reference, this model appears in Ron's & Gary Walker's excellent book "German Clamshells & Other Bayonets", page 121.

I've noticed that it's scarce for a Polizei blade to have a swedge. Typically, they're only seen on some private purchase pieces from stiletto style blades by WKC & the occasional example by Henckels. Recently though, I've seen 3 by Clemen & Jung that also have a swedge, Victorman's being one of them. From what I can gather though, the blades are typical width & not the stiletto type.

Reverse ricasso marked with the later C&J mark, dual marked on the same side. As Ron says, for a somewhat smaller & obscure manufacturer, Clemen & Jung does seem to be seen a lot when it comes to Customs' blades.

I also have two other short bayonets by Clemen & Jung, both Polizei. One is a early clamshell, the other a late aluminum hilt type.

[Billy G]

The dagger isn't C&J but Horster. It's hard to pass up the serious hand enhancement of these Horster crossguards.

Nice one Billy.

C&J also made Feuerwehr bayonets.

[Billy G]

The double marked ones seem to be of a later vintage. Note that the "Z" within a shield is upside down on my 2nd Feuerwehr bayonet but right side up on the Customs clamshell. I've wondered if they used two different stamps for name & the "Z".
