Krieghoff bayonet?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello LugerForum!
I have the opportunity to purchase a bayonet manufactured by Krieghoff. It has the HK logo, presumably for Heinrich Krieghoff. Is this an authentic Krieghoff product or some postwar knockoff? I read Randall Gibson's Krieghoff Parabellum book but I couldn't seem to identify any part about Krieghoff making bayonets, besides the ones for the FG rifles.

Any help is well appreciated!

That HK is hand engraved. For all I know it may be authentic, but I would be very suspicious. I hope someone with expert knowledge will give you a definitive answer.

someone with expert knowledge will give you a definitive answer. That's not me but put me down as a non believer. I agree with Ron.

I am not even remotely an expert but I would not buy this. Bill

I would not pay "extra" for that marking; whole bayonet looks a little too shiny to me; but like Bill I'm no expert.

This is an authentic Third Reich Heinrich Krieghoff, Suhl maker marked bayonet, and a very nice one at that.

I'll stick to Lugers!

Not doubting you but where did you get the info? Bill

Another example. Bill: This is a well known trademark in the edged weapons collector community. This mark is also found on some Krieghoff Lugers. Both bayonets are Third Reich Fire Dept. dress bayonets. Reference site germandaggers.com

Thank you. Appreciate the info. Bill
