This is a Fireman's Dress Bayonet and scabbard. The basic design is taken from the standard military dress bayonet but is without the rifle mortise and stud button. The crossguard is lengthened to give a re curve appearance. This is the standard version with the 9 3/4" blade and has a rare makers logo "Geco" above the word "Solingen". This is one of the rarer logos. It has chequered grips secured with two pins and retains the leather pad at the cross guard. The polished steel blade is in excellent condition. It comes with the correct scabbard which is free of dents. (see 'German Clamshells' book pages 125, 126 & 127 by Gary L. Walker and R. J. Weinand). The price includes Uk delivery. Sn 11522:3
