The obverse display an elegant bugler motif of a frosted etch which reads "Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit" with an oval blued panel of a call to arms pattern. The reverse is beautifully maker marked "Siegfried Waffen E. Pack & Söhne Solingen". The plating on the blade gives it a wonderful mirror like finish The tip comes to a perfectly sharp point and the fit is nice and tight! The blade rates an easy Exc++/NM. It shows the common surface scratches/spotting throughout along with the slightest plating/bluing loss. The brown/black leather buffer pad remains intact. The steel based black enamel painted scabbard looks excellent. It shows the common spidering yet continues to retain 98%+ paint coverage and it remains completely dent free! The original throat retaining screw remains intact and the ball is perfectly round. The alloy based, nickel-silver plated hilt looks excellent. It continues to retain 97%+ plating coverage. The black checkered bakelite grip plates are in near perfect condition. Both plates are tightly secured to the hilt with two lightly oxidized steel rivets. The button continues to work well! This one comes with a green felt plug to the mortise slot. See page 85-86 of Techet's "German Etched Dress Bayonets". A quality example!
