A Wehrmacht Bajonett für K98 by Carl Eickhorn of Solingen 1939. The K98 Bayonet was designed for the German Wehrmacht standard service Karabiner 98 kurz (7.92x57mm Mauser cartridge) bolt-action rifle - 1935. The single edged, single fullered, blued blade on this one look great! The blued panels continue to have a nice and dark finish that shows wear towards the tip. The fit is perfect. It is maker marked and dated “Carl Eickhorn” to the reverse, and “3479 c” (serial/distribution number) to the obverse and “39” to the spine. The blade rates a solid Exc+. It shows the commonly seen surface scratches from the runners (mostly towards the tip). The steel based, black anodized scabbard has matching wear and no dents. It is marked matching the blade perfectly. The single side screw is lost to time. The scabbard sits securely up against the hilt. The hilt looks great! The brown bakelite grip plates are in great condition! They show the common light contact wear but no chips, cracks or splits! The button continues to work well. This piece is profusely inspection stamped as one would expect. This one comes with a nice frog that is RBNr numbered and dated 43.
