Imperial German WW1 Old Pattern Model 1898/05aA Without Flashguard Butcher Bayonet Complete With Steel Scabbard. BAYO 247 - BAYO 247

This is a nice old pattern 1898/05aA bayonet with no flashguard and extended muzzle ring ‘ears’. There are no markings on the blade but a capital S appears of the crossguard behind the blade and a 2 entwined S’s on the underside od the crossguard. This is a mark which we have been unable to identify. The pommel carries an inspection mark. The scabbard is the standard metal one with a few dents. This is a nice early ‘Butcher’ bayonet. See Martin J. Brayley, An Illustrated History of Bayonets, pages 83 – 85. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 247
