German M98 Dress Bayonet And Scabbard. BAYO 289 - BAYO 289

This is a German M98 dress bayonet worn by German troops when off duty. The bayonet has the shorter carbine style fullered 7 ¾ inch blade and is marked on the ricasso with the manufacturer’s logo of Carl Julias Krebs of Solingen. The original black scabbard washer is in place at the top of the blade. The bayonet has black chequered plastic grips secured by two rivets. The crossguard has a single Quillon and the pommel has a working press stud which are nickel plated and are slightly worn in places through general wear. The scabbard has an unusual matte finish instead of the usual gloss finish but this appears to be contemporary. See German clamshells by Gary L. Walker and R.J.Weinand, pages 15. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 289
