Preppy Picker Posted April 17, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 17, 2022 All I have is this one picture. German dress bayonet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwar Posted April 17, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 17, 2022 Usually, it represents Deutsches Reich Patent, it seems a bit off from the font associated with these bayo's, JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted April 18, 2022 Share #3 Posted April 18, 2022 These property markings are for the "Deutsche Reichs Post" on your KS98 bayonet. These sidearms were for wear by the German Postal Police and are fairly scarce. Who is the maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwar Posted April 18, 2022 Share #4 Posted April 18, 2022 I may have misread my source information, Postschutz bayonets were stamped DRP with a serial number. 99% are made by P. Weyersberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted April 19, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 19, 2022 Yes, this the proper long oval marking for Weyersberg. These DRP KS98 were also made by Alcoso. The service issue S84/98 for the Reichspost were also made by Weyersberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted April 19, 2022 The bayonet I posted looks like PRP. Anyone know anything about that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted April 20, 2022 Share #7 Posted April 20, 2022 Preppy Picker, The bayonet marking (PRP) you show is strangely marked. The block letter "DRP" marking that Gewar shows is the normal marking for these Postschutz KS98 bayonets. I don't know what the bayonet marking that you show might represent but it is not the normal Reichspost marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffenleite Posted October 21, 2022 Share #9 Posted October 21, 2022 DRP should all be struck together as in Gwar's post, not individually. In this case I would be very suspect of the "PRD" marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
