Wz.29 Polish Parkerised Radom Mobilisation Bayonet dated 1939

Hello,

Is this Wz.29 Polish bayonet, 100% original pre-war ?

I have attached the photos.

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thank You

At first blush it looks like a fake to me. Grips seem too 'new' to be original. Plus there doesn't seem to be any wear on this bayonet, the 'parkerization' seems too even.

Scabbard seems OK and possibly the frog but I don't know Polish frogs and don't have a authentic one to compare to.

I believe Marcin has posted photos of the parkerized Mobilization bayonet in the sticky for comparison.

Hi Justin,

I don't know much about Polish bayonets, but I would be a bit cautious on this one looks too good to be true. If original, it is a wonderful surviving example.

The Radom factory reproduced these bayonets a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if they made parkerised examples also, but a fake could of parkernised this himself. Wz.29 bayonet replica - Wz.29 bayonet replica,

Edit: I didn't even realize the 2nd picture in the link! Pakerised versions were also made and I'm quite certain this is a reproduction!

I never seen one in that condition even in Poland. Unless it was taken from a depot in 1939 and hidden till today, which doubtful.
I think it is the commemorative made item by FB Radom in mid 2000s.
