German late WW2 M88/89 3rd Model Bayonet & Scabbard. Bayonet

This is a late production K98 bayonet made in 1944 by E & F Horster and marked to the blade with their wartime code of 44asw. There is only one visible waffenampt stamp to the pommel and the overall finish is not up to the usual standard. The scabbard is also a late war version with the finish not being as good as normal. This is marked to the top with 44cof which is the wartime code for Carl Eickhorn. A nice late war combination and a must for the serious collector. See White & Watts No 296 pages 115 & 133. £175 BAYO 677.
