EKI spange Unknown maker

Just acquired this EKI spange by another Unknown maker. It is in really nice condition and is said to be in Frank Thaer’s (hope I spelled it correct, my apology if not) book. I think I now have all the Unknown makers. Jim

Need help! 98/05 bayonet converted to trench knives

I’d like to share these with you. Both are trench knife conversions, or at least they look like it. Both have the press-stud mechanism and the ears filed down. I don’t know if that would count as evidence for wether or not the conversions were done during the war, but at least you can say they were done thoroughly.

One of these has peculiar pins / badges attached to the wooden grips. I know caution is advised with these, but in my experience I think there’s something to them. The imperial crown seems legit, the horsehead seems… weird :-) It might be a personal touch, or a fantasy piece altogether. In any case, both bayonets are (or were) real, and I like the conversions made. The custom made leather frog/scabbard (which I haven’t touched yet, and I think I won’t) is a non-German looking one. I only managed to find a few privately made ones of WW2 knives that are remotely similar in construction. This one seems to be wartime, judging by the period stitchings and the leather being used. I’ve never seen one like it, but it has a faint imprint of both badges so it looks like they’ve been paired up for sometime now. Just a thought, but the horse could mean cavalry of some sort and I believe (regular) frogs with straps like this were in use for mounted personell (?)

The one with the attached badges has the blade shaped like some of the trench knives of the great war, double sided edge and a narrow fuller.

The other one looks more like a knife for home and garden use, but I doubt one would go through the trouble of both deactivating the press-stud and rounding the low ears.

I’m somewhat into trench knives and own an ERN production piece aswell. Do you have any thoughts on these conversions, or on the added badges?

PS: picture one is the hilt before and after cleaning.

Mp40, bnz 43

Hello folks.

This is one off any UK collector’s bucket list!

After an exciting day at the War and Peace Show, I’ve come home with something very special. After being told deacts were thin on the ground this year, I went with low hopes. I poked around D&B Militaria’s stall and had a look at a few of their Lugers, but none of them grabbed me. I did the same with several other deact sellers, and then wandered over to Chelmsford Militaria. Having had dealings with James in the past, I have nothing but good things to say about him, and I had high hopes.
They did not disappoint. I walk into their stall, and there it was. Ten minutes later, I’m walking out with it. At £1995, it ate most of my savings. But compared to the price tag of a UK Old-Spec, it was a bargain.
It’s not every day that I get to see one of these outside of a museum. And to be able to not only hold one, but bring it home and keep it, is very special indeed.
It’s a BNZ example, the wartime manufacturer code for Steyr Daimler Puch, A.G. Werk. Rolled off the production line in 1943, one of approximately 1.1 million made from 1940-1945. An honest ‘used’ example, with a lot of minor dents and bumps, a chip out of the bakelite, and most of the finish worn off.

This is also my first EU-UK Spec deact, with the new style of certificate pictured. I’m happy to report that they are far less severe than we had feared, with movement of the cocking handle and a good degree of stripping-down still possible.

Honestly, the only thing that could top this for me is an authentic MP44!

Regards, B.B.
