I posted Fence"s photos on the Society of American Bayonet Collectors facebook page and got a quick response.  This bayonet is a Liege copy of the French 1842 bayonet made with blades supplied by several German makers.  Liege, Belgium was famous for making bayonets for export, for many other countries....even before Belgium was ever a country.

"Recovered" as always is a question of definition. In 1945, Eickhorn had almost 4000 employees and a substantial campus near the former main train station, today there are 12 or 13? employees. There was an insolvency in the 70s, which saw the death of the original Carl Eickhorn company and transition to Anette Eickhorn GmbH, along with the cessation of Cutlery and Sword manufacturing, and even the rights to the brand Eickhorn largely leaving the Eickhorn family & business (ending up at GMS and Hörster, with some carveouts for shared by A, Eickhorn). Over time the rights were clawed back to A. Eickhorn, until that business went insolvent in 2004. Eickhorn was bought by a British Consortium (Lightweight Body Armour) and Factory and Employees retained (whilst the Eickhorn Family exited). This Company became LBA Eickhorn, later Eickhorn Solingen Ltd. In 2007, Scottish member of the LBA, Andrew McGill bought Eickhorn, and renamed the business "The Original Eickhorn Solingen Company Limited". In 2012, the business was sold to an employee, who is still the owner of the business today. Since Brexit, Eickhorn has again become a GmbH.   There is also Waffentechnik Borkott & Eickhorn, which is not related to the Original Eickhorn, but rather a company run by a member of the Eickhorn Family. For a time, Original Eickhorn manufactured for Waffentechnik, although that is no longer the case as of 2-3 years ago or so. It's unlikely anyone here is that deep into the matter, but I believe that is also the reason for Waffentechnik removing the PRT from their catalogue. The Waffentechnik Bayonets and Combat knives (to my knowledge) are now manufactured by Karl Clauberg GmbH, who also do contract work for Original Eickhorn and Böker (primarily grinding), and run the Kitchen Knife company Paul Adrian.

These are great for a good start. let's see more come on guys we are collectors we have crazy stuff.  Don't be shy

It has a standard scabbard.

Only have a couple Gerber's. 3 Loveless and this one, I think from 1972. 

Welcome from Nebraska!

Thanks! Both are beercan DI and have those plastic clutches.     I've been seeing more of it pop up recently in my area, though this is the first full helmet I've found. 

Here is another that’s been out for almost two years

It is nice to see a few Randalls on here.  I mainly collect Gerber MKII knives but have a few Randalls.  These are uniquely modified and ready for combat.  The original owner took the model 14 on a combat mission and decided it was too big.  I like how ammo cans were used to reenforce the bottom of the sheath.  The original owner was in Special Forces and between their Parachute Riggers, who had heavy duty sewing machines, and the support guys, they could fabricate just about anything the Team guys could think up.   

Hello all,   Thank you each for commenting, it's much appreciated. Also nice to see some "old friends" drop by!   My best wishes to you all,   Joe
