Title K98 Eickhorn dress bayonet
Nationality German
Period c 1936
Sold

This is the standard walking out bayonet of the Third Reich. There was a shorter version as well. The Eickhorn squirrel and sword mark are on the base of the blade. These were private purchase items, which the soldiers could wear when they were walking out from the barracks with their girls, etc.

The condition of this piece is almost faultless. There is a little crackelure to the paint on the scabbard and a few scrapes to the paint here and there, with some wear to the ball of the scabbard. It has its original leather washer.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

My Arisaka arrived at 9.00am. Very prompt delivery and excellent packaging! The blade is superb.. and just what I was after, its in very fine condition and just as you described.. I've referenced it in my copy of Raymond La Bar's book "Bayonets of Japan".

Many thanks, Chris, once again its been a pleasure doing business!
