German WWII ‘M1898/05 Sawback ‘Butcher’ Bayonet Scabbard & Leather Frog. 20122. Bayonet

This is a late example made in 1917 by ‘Waffenfabrik Mauser A.G. Oberndorf’ and is stamped thus to the blade which is in very nice condition. The sawback bayonets were probably made in 1916 and early 1917, before their manufacturing was suspended. The spine carries a crown over ‘W & 17’. The grips are wood and are held with two screw bolts, showing wear to the top *see pics*. There is a flash guard fitted. It is contained in an Ersatz metal scabbard and is the metal version with feint makers marks to the rear and is in as equally good condition as the bayonet. The frogs stitching is intact and the leather is good. See ‘White & Watts’ No 270, pages 114 & 124. The price includes UK delivery. 20122. (Box 2)
