WW2 German K98 Dress Bayonet with Black Painted Scabbard and Custom Made Leather Frog

Here on offer is a WW2 German K98 dress bayonet, with a black painted scabbard and custom made leather frog.

This fine example has a 9.75” single-edged nickel plated plain blade, with a flat spine above a deep single fuller on both sides.

There is no maker mark on this example and the blade is in excellent condition, with just a slight greying to the finish, that would probably polish bright with some metal polish. There are also some very light scabbard runner scratch marks near the tip, caused when the blade is inserted in the scabbard.

It still retains its original the leather buffer pad that has ensured and airtight seal, while the blade is stored in the scabbard.

The crossguard with upturned quillion and the bird-beck pommel are in mint condition, retaining all their plating. The press-stud locking mechanism is in full working order and the rifle slot has a red felt insert, as used with dress bayonets.

The chequered black Bakelite grip scales are in mint condition and are held firmly in place by two domed plated rivets.

The metal scabbard retains nearly all of its gloss black paint finish with no dents, just some tiny chips to the paint on the edges near the tip.

It now has a non-original vintage custom made brown leather frog, that actually displays well with the bayonet.

The blade measures 9.75” (24.8cm) and the whole bayonet is 14.6” (37cm) long.

With the scabbard and frog, it weighs 480g.
