K98k bayonets.

[Willi Z.]

I thought we should start a thread on matching K98k bayonets. Please add what you have. Here are a few of my favorites. I like the late war ones.

A 44asw with wooden grips.

[Willi Z.]

44asw with Bakelite grips.

[Willi Z.]

44asw with phosphated bayonet and scabbard....and rivets instead of grip screws.

[Willi Z.]

And my favorite of the 44s is this 44fnj with blued bayonet and phosphated scabbard.

[Willi Z.]

And for a little comparision for pre-war vs late war, a superb quality 1938 made by Gebruder Heller. The quality of the bluing and bakelite is superb.

An overall view of the 5 I have presented so far.

phosphated scabbard.

Nothing special here in comparison to Willi's bayonets,but anyway as a non-"weapon" collector, I've got a few...here you go.

starting from above, matching, serialnbr: 1547 f, dated 44, maker : cvl. Frog is unmarked but original to the bayonet.

the middle one is mismatched, although I got it like that from a resistance-veteran in my area. Nbr 5107 g and scabbard nbr 1010, maker : WKC. original marked frog.

The third one is matching also, nbrs : 4580 a, maker : J.Sch. + it's original unmarked frog.

All have wooden grips.

Cheers
