Durkopp Werke A.G were well established makers of sewing machines, Bicycles, cars & lorries before WW1. The Company’s distinctive trademark includes their company name & large ‘D’ enclosing a factory. They were producing bayonets in 1916 & 1917 some of which are dated & others as with our example are without date. Durkopp Werke made their own bayonets and finished blades by other manufacturers, notably Rich.A.Herder and F Koeller and Co. there is a feint Solingen mark on the left side of the blade which would suggest this was a blade made else where and finished by Durkopp Werke. This is a nice WW1 era Imperial German Model 1898/05 G98 Mauser Butcher bayonet by Durkopp. The back edge of the 14 ½” butcher blade has indistinct inspection marks and a 1916 date. The blade has just light staining consistent with age and is crisply marked with the Durkopp manufacturer name and trademark. The grooved wood grips are original and un-damaged. The steel scabbard is also original and in good order with just a couple of very minor dents to be expected. The price for this bayonet and scabbard includes UK delivery. BAYO 556
