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.

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!

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.
