Hitler youth bayonet

[lucabrnroma]

Hi all, i would like to know your opinions about Hitler youth bayonets.
Is there a document which allows the production/distribution of those bayos?
Many thanks

No, there is not one single reference to them in the RJF regulations. I do however see numerous references forbidding the wearing of any knife other than the standard HJ/DJ Fahrtenmesser.

These bayonet-style knives can only be a short-lived item from the very early 1930s before standardisation. Having said that, the Wachgefolgschaft are said to have worn them but again, nothing in the regulations about this - only about the selection of members.

Has anyone seen any photographs of the Wachgefolgschaft Baldur von Schirach wearing these modified K98 bayonets?

A period reference from the 1943 Organisationsbuch Der NSDAP .......

Thanks K. I was looking more for photos of them in wear. I don't think I've ever seen one.

Understood Garry, I was posting primarily for lucabrnroma. Like you, I have never seen a photo of the piece in wear ......
