Title Pioneer dress bayonet
Nationality German
Period c 1935
Sold

An uncommon (in 35 years of dealing, I have only seen three or four) version of the standard dress bayonet, with combat type pommel, brown dress frog, NCO's knot, but no quillon. Maker marked to: E.&F. Horster.

The nickel silver finish is in good order, both on hilt and blade, except for a small patch of rust and minor lifting to the plating on the guard. All original paintwork to the scabbard.

I picked up the No5 this morning and I'm well pleased with it.

Thanks very much for a great deal hope to trade again in the future.

Bayonet arrived safe + sound this AM Sat. Special delivery excellent again. Worth the few extra bob. To be honest it was better than I dared hope. I usually avoid polished bits like the plague!! Your price was a bit fierce!! - but a great marking I lacked... Please email me anytime you have anything that might be of interest.
