Title Ersatz bayonet for Mauser, 1898 model
Nationality German
Period c 1917
Sold

These bayonets were made as an economy measure to produce side arms for the rapidly expanding army and also to replace battlefield loss. Single German acceptance stamp to the base of the blade. Scabbard maker's details to the reverse of the scabbard.

This is an average example with some restoration to the paintwork - hard to detect in this case what is old and what new - it's certainly the correct colour.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
