Seeking someone whom may know something about these.

Greetings,

My father just pasted away and he inherited the below from his father whom was in Normandy, Northern Frace, Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe under battles and campaigns on his DD214. I of course inherited them from my father. I dont know how he obtained them but was wondering if this is just stuff he purchased or are they authentic war memorabilia. I have tried to do searches on the net and have found similar things but nothing that actually matches what I now have.

Hi eegisme, welcome to the AHF!

two nice originals, the number 1 the typical "Eickhorn" so-called "Ausgehbajonett", also called "Ausgehseitengewehr also
Extra-Seitengewehr," etc.".

Quite valuable due to the blade etching, definitely rare, and in very good condition.

* Thanks also for the memory of your father, those are the fine details that put such pieces in a good light.

P.S. Please post better photos of the blade etching here, unfortunately your photos are too bad to see anything,

Thanks! I will work on getting better photos in a few days, I have a few VA appointments. Do you have any recommendations for what image place to use. I dont use forums often and I see when I click on some photos by others it enlarges but mine take me right to the site I used.
