Title K98 Mauser bayonet
Nationality German
Period c 1939
Sold

This bayonet is the classic Third Reich armed forces example, dated 1939 on the scabbard and on the back of the blade, marked for Carl Eickhorn, and with matching numbers to scabbard and blade. This was developed from the S84/98, which first made an appearance in Germany in 1915 as a wooden hilted example.

There is some minor scarring to the surface of the blade, but this has most of its blue finish intact and there are trace elements of original finish to the scabbard and hilt. Grips are bakelite.

The bayonet arrived yesterday in good order. Fits my musket perfectly. Quite pleased, and many thanks for a very satisfactory transaction.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
