This bayonet is up at auction soon and although it is shiny, and I am a magpie, I’m not sure ie have no idea about the Afrikakorps thing stuck on it.

The blade is marked Eickhorn and has the squirrel on but might it just be a parade bayonet with a bit of AK bling stuck on?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been debating for the last month or so as to whether to pick it up as these are really not my focus… Anyway took the plunge as I have no beaded helmets yet.

A beaded M40 Q64 Luftschutz. Looks like it is stamped lot #23 or 25. Pictures did not come out due to a very light strike. Very light wear and a new perfect decal. Chin strap is period shortened. Maybe cut for a woman? (It doesn’t fit my 12 year old son)

Any way, really not much to say….enjoy….
