Hello everyone,
I bought this bayonet some time ago and was wondering if anybody could give me more information on it as I dont know much.
It has 39 on top of the blade and the name f.w.holler written on one side of the bottom bit of the blade. It is nicely stamped up and has the numbers 7677 near the handle. Just wanted to know where exactly f.w.holler was situated in germany during the war. Many thanks.

F.W. Höller, of Solingen.
The mark on your blade means it was Produced between the years 1937- 1940/41.
This maker can also be identified by the following mark: fze F.W. Höller, Solingen 41-43, on later 1940/41 - 44/45 pieces.
The following is the total production of bayonets by the firm F.W. Höller between the years 1937 to 1945:
1937 - Made aprox. 73880 bayonets.
1938 - Made aprox. 134963 bayonets.

Hope this helps.
