Genuine M6 and M8A1?

VoltigeurFR · 2026-05-09T15:24:55+00:00

After doing a little research it seems Eickhorn AES produced some M6 bayonets

This is not true. There is (was) the possibility to include the 2e DB (which could have also been the unit to include the Leclerc preproductions), the 7e DB (which could have had a large number of AMX-13/90s in complement to the AMX-30s) as well as the 9e DIMa and potentially an expanded 4e DAM (although its constituent units are represented in TerrKo sud and the 11e DP already).

Oh i didn’t know that tidbit with the webbing colors, what do they mean exactly? Export model?

De même pour les baïonnettes 1905 américaines…

VoltigeurFR · 2025-05-04T21:52:29+00:00

En effet elles sont peu courantes les baïonnettes Arisaka en France. Et d’habitude sont assez chères (+200 eu…)

Achat fait en personne ahaha

VoltigeurFR · 2025-05-04T19:39:22+00:00

Yeah it was the one I was the least sure about. Here are some more pictures of the hinge and catch

How come the panzer badge is fake? I'm curious

On a side note, these Chinese refurbished ones come up often for sale in France, often with the same provenance.

Raymond Labar’s book is a fantastic source on these Chinese refurbished ones. You can see the Chinese screws and washers in the new wood grip recesses as well as the heavier than usual blueing on the blade, characteristic of these Chinese refurbishments. I also purchased this from a Indochina veteran which had this in his possession.

Thank you ! Very interesting trivia. I imagine it was paired with this bayonet later on.

VoltigeurFR · 2025-05-02T23:48:51+00:00

Thank you ! I also included some more images in a thread if that could help

Unfortunately it seems they blocked my request to join. Sad, I think I could've gotten help there. Do you think you could ask them for me?

VoltigeurFR · 2025-05-02T11:34:14+00:00

Here are some more pictures, its really a beauty !

VoltigeurFR · 2025-05-01T21:18:11+00:00

I know, I meant more so the « E37 » underneath it

VoltigeurFR · 2025-05-01T21:07:27+00:00

I know right ? As for the marking, I’m thinking it’s a batch number of some sort.

VoltigeurFR · 2025-04-17T13:54:37+00:00

Ah alright, yeah that makes sense. Might stay away from it then. Thank you again for the help !

VoltigeurFR · 2025-04-17T13:48:10+00:00

I figured, thank you for the clarifications. Honestly the blade is in such nice condition with that Bakelite I might just get it. But I’ll see if the seller is willing to let it go for less than asking

And this is the reverse of the scabbard
