Title K98 Eickhorn dress bayonet
Nationality German
Period c 1936
Sold

This is the standard walking out bayonet of the Third Reich. There was a shorter version as well. The Eickhorn squirrel and sword mark are on the base of the blade. These were private purchase items, which the soldiers could wear when they were walking out from the barracks with their girls, etc.

The condition of this piece is almost faultless. There is a little crackelure to the paint on the scabbard and a few scrapes to the paint here and there, with some wear to the ball of the scabbard. It has its original leather washer.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)
