Mauser Bayonet

Durkopp Werke A.G were well established makers of sewing machines, Bicycles, cars & lorries before Ww1. The Company’s distinctive trademark includes thei 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 also finished blank blades for other companies but this is made by Durkopp as it is without any other company name (see German Bayonets page 70 by Carter). 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. 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 scabbard is fitted with its original leather frog which has just light surface scuffs to be expected. There are no manufacturer or date marks on the frog. The price for this nicely marked bayonet and scabbard includes UK delivery. BAYO 440
