I seem to recall reading in Ice’s book on late war helmets that some late war numbered M42’s got sifted saw dust from the factory instead of oxide. I cannot locate my copy of the book to save my life. Anyone have information on this? I’m thinking they were hkp or ckl? Pictures?
Thanks in advance
Here is another Cross that I’m truly grateful for receiving during 2017. This is the first non-combatant cross in my collection and its an added bonus it was manufactured by: Friedlander, Berlin. Now, Friedlander manufactured crosses are one of my most favorite for they exhibit beautifully detailed cores and you cannot collect enough of them. :p

However, I’m having difficulty making sense of the "G.Kz.944.5" unit marking on the scabbard. I understand "G." to mean "Staatliche Polizeiverwaltung Gumbinnen" and "Kz." to mean "Staatliche Polizeiverwaltung Koblenz". However, there should only be a single administration district in the unit marking, not two. How can a bayonet & scabbard have been issued to two districts simultaneously? Also, does the "944.5" marking indicate that it was Weapon No.9445? That seems like an unusually high weapon number. Or does it indicate Weapon No.5 and "944" signifies something else?
Thanks for any and all help, guys!
I was wondering if you can take a look at the enclosed SS Sleeve Eagle.
I am not 100% convinced especially the swastika having a couple of bent arms/extensions and the overall quality.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards. Toffster
