Long - Single Etch - 88 Artillery Pattern

F.W. Holler was a major producer of etched dress bayonets who did not always trademark their bayonets perhaps due to customer request, lack of workers or savings in the production line.

This example is not trademarked but was definitely produced by Holler as defined by the "blunt end" bookends seen here. See pictures What makes this example relevant to EDB collectors is the 88 Artillery Gun featured in the right side of the etch.

In my new Revised/Updated Volume, I designated this overall etch as RARE to find in the collecting community. I couldn't even locate one for my original book. A special order of this etch can be found on page 200. Today it continues to be VERY RARE and hard to find. Many advanced collectors don't have this etched dress bayonet in their displays due to rarity.

The condition of this example is absolutely MINT in every way. All plating is present on Blade and Hilt and the etch itself is beautiful to look at and admire. I haven't seen an example of this etch in many years for purchase at any price.
