Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I bought my first 1 by accident, sportsmansguide had them mislabeled

the scabbord for this one is on the right, it's marked Made in W Germany, with US M8A1 stamped above that, and it has the Danish belt attachment. The Danish web gear was a copy of the English P37 web gear.

I had read that the Dane makes went in order of FKF, HTK, and HMAK

With FKF making the M10, and then HTK and HMAK making the M5 and M5A1s. But I've found M7 scabbords HTK marked, so I'm guessing that there was some overlap. I haven't seen any M10s that were HTK marked yet, so if anyone should find one, let me know

The HTK is on the right, but it's been painted over, so it doesn't show too well in the pic. The Danes used US made bayos at first, I have a U C marked M10 that was in a Danish scabbord, but I'm not sure if it was Danished used, all Danish markings were a crown over the makers mark, but I've never read about them marking the US made ones.

Left to right HTK M5A1, HMAK M5A1,US U C marked, FKF scabbord, HTK scabbord, FKF M10.
