Title Mauser bayonet, model 1898/05
Nationality German
Period 1916
Sold

A clean example with its original frog, the scabbard with modern repaint, base of blade marked 'ALEX COPPEL / SOLINGEN' at the forte of the blade. Perhaps the most common Mauser bayonet of the Great War, but still in relatively nice shape with good walnut grips and polished iron hilt mounts (now laquered). Dated on the back of the blade.

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.

The bayonet arrived safe and sound this morning. It is absolutely magnificent. I am thrilled to bits with it. Thanks for all the interest you have shown.

My very best wishes, and thank you, very sincerely, once again.
