Title Mauser K98/05 sawback bayonet
Nationality German
Period 1912
Sold

Marked on the crossguard and top scabbard mount: 'B.E.B.1' (Bavarian Railway Battalion). Bavarian inspection stamps to both sides of the throat on the top scabbard mount. Blade marked 'O' (for Otto) and dated 1911. The marks are matching on the hilt and scabbard, except for the individual weapon number (ie the unit is the same).

Good leather scabbard with no appreciable shrinkage; good walnut grips; minor age patination to hilt and scabbard mounts; blade excellent with evidence of competent field service sharpening. Scarce to find Bavarian pioneer bayonet with railway markings.

Bayonet arrived safe + sound this AM Sat. Special delivery excellent again. Worth the few extra bob. To be honest it was better than I dared hope. I usually avoid polished bits like the plague!! Your price was a bit fierce!! - but a great marking I lacked... Please email me anytime you have anything that might be of interest.
