German S84/98 Bayonet and Scabbard. Bayonet

German S84/98 Bayonet and Scabbard. This is a wartime production bayonet and scabbard and is a third pattern with wood grips. It is marked to the blade with 42 cul which is the wartime code for WKC, Waffefabrik, Solingen Wald. This is repeated on the mouth of the scabbard. The other side of the blade carries 5940 and the pommel has two Waffenampt stamps. The scabbard is steel and has the numbers 963? Stamped to the top. The tip of the scabbard also carries a Waffenampt stamp. The bayonet has obviously seen action but is in good collectable condition for a wartime dated example.
