WWII German M98 Fireman’s Dress Bayonet Marked Solingen Scabbard and Leather Frog. 21498. Dagger

This is an original Nazi Fireman's dress bayonet and scabbard. The basic design is taken from the standard military dress bayonet but is without the rifle mortise and stud button (see 'German Clamshells' book pages 125 - 131 by Gary L. Walker and R. J. Weinand). The cross guard is lengthened to give a re curve appearance. It has a clean polished 9 ¾” blade with fullers *light age related staining*. The blade is crisply marked with Solingen and has its original leather hilt washer. It has undamaged chequered grips secured with two rivets. The hilt and cross guard are chrome plated. The chrome plating has some small areas of wear consistent with age. It comes with the correct scabbard which is free of dents and a leather frog (stitching in good order). The scabbard retains the majority of its original black paint finish and has the correct fixed frog bar *slight play*. The price includes UK delivery. 21498.
