Just acquired this bayonet. I don't think too many were made in this configuration with wood grips attached by rivets.

That's a very good find, that is seldom seen

Most CLV44 (WKC) bayonet was made of wood grips attached by rivets.
Rare are those CLV44 with bakelite grips.

Hi Guys,

Does anybody have a 'rarity chart' of K98 bayonets. I've a couple of rivetted late wars as well as some nice phosphated but I've often wondered what the 'rarity scale' would look like.

Regards,

Bigsie

Bigsie, maybe I'm wrong, but with what you said, I would add K98 bayonets produced 1945.

Nice piece, i could dont deciphere the letter of series, is possibility bad stamped p or q letter, which would be the latest SN known, but the finish looks like repaired, should be heavy tool?

I have compared the series letter to those shown on this site - they are all said to be in the "p" series.

The finish - you could be right - I'm not sure - again in comparison too the website.

I'm pleased to have it in the collection - just need a "45" !
