Title 1884/98 model Mauser sawback bayonet
Nationality German
Period c 1915

Uncommon example with saw teeth officially ground off on reverse of blade, probably done in 1917 to comply with the Geneva Convention rules. No date, but Prussian acceptance stamps visible on pommel and blade marked 'F.Koeller & Co, Solingen'. Nice walnut grips to hilt.

Incredibly, I received your shipment today. Super fast delivery, I was expecting it on Saturday. The helmet was, as you said, 100%. The side cap is excellent also...

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
