Title Bayonet SG 84/98 for WW1 Mauser carbine
Nationality German
Period 1916
Sold

This came into service circa 1915 for the WW1 German Mauser carbine. A flash guard was fitted to the back of the grips to protect them from muzzle flash. It was the prototype for the famous K98 bayonet of WW2. Nice walnut grips (with minor swelling from damp to one), reasonable blade, maker marked and dated (see photos).

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
