I’m looking at purchasing a bowl/plate that is part of a dinner service that was gifted to Hitler by Miklos Horthy from Hungary. Purchasing from a high end collector who directly purchased from the vet. I did find this about the service and makers marks for the item:

Lot Detail - HEREND VASE PRESENTED TO ADOLF HITLER BY MIKLOS HORTHY, CAPTURED AT THE BERGHOF

If anybody knows anymore about this I would appreciate the help. What do you guys think?

Hi, This is my police bayonet by Eickhorn I believe these were made during the third Reich as opposed to cut down Weimar types it has plated aluminium hilt that has lost a fair bit of it’s plating which I think is common for these with Staghorn grips and aluminium grip eagle. The scabbard is a dark brown leather with the frog stud being painted dark brown and the frog is also brown leather does this make it Rural Police? It is listed in the Eickhorn catalogue as item 1320 and designated "Extra:Seitengewehr". The blade is not brilliant as there is wear to the plating but no damage or nicks I think the trademark is the post 1941 Eickhorn trademark? The troddel I think is correct but not 100% sure? it certainly seems to have always been on this frog. All comments/opinions welcome.
Thanks, Andy.

I picked up this rig along with a type 94 rig. This one has matching internals except for the striker follower and cocking knob. They are number to each other but not to the gun. The grip panels are void of any serial numbers and only the left one has some type of marking as shown but cannot read. I tried to show the fit in the pics but not easy for me to do. The fit of the grip to the gun is rather rough. I do not know if these are original or replaced at some point. Does not seem like it would be a Japanese Army repair but I cannot explain the cocking knob and striker follower either. The magazine matches last three numbers with the second mag pin punch. The mag inspector marking looks correct to me. The rig also came with a spare striker that has a serial number on it that does not match the gun.
The holster is in good shape with good markings.
I have a couple of questions that I could not figure out in the Derby and Brown book are.
Should the grip panels been serial numbered to the gun?
Field replacement or post was messing with?
The bolt is blued. Should it be?
Help with the holster date markings please.
All opinions are appreciated. Thank you for looking.
John
