Title Pioneer pattern dress bayonet, engraved blade
Nationality German
Period c 1936
Sold

This bayonet is fully engraved on one side for the Third Regiment of German Infantry based at Mohrungen in East Prussia and is maker marked for Holler of Solingen. The Pioneer bayonet is the rarest of the dress pattern bayonets and one rarely finds a regimentally marked example.

The scabbard paint has been refurbished to a professional standard without using undercoat, just as the originals were painted. The nickel silver finish of the hilt is showing its age. The blade, however, is in excellent shape with nice clear, deeply etched engraving.

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.
