My first K98 Seitengewehr, got it in the mail yesterday. A little rusty and mismatched, but original! IMG_1598.jpg

Bayonets need to look used otherwise they shine like daggers :-)
I agree! Thanks fellas.
LOL its nice to hear you like daggers too
Nice pick up Doomtown,,I think its in great condition as mentioned above. IMO these bayonets are on the scary end of the spectrum as they were used against someone during battle...compared to shiny daggers
I feel there is nothing wrong with mismatched numbers as sometimes things happen during that time as the bayonet was either lost or the scabbard was bent up at some point. Maybe the soldier picked it up from a dead comrade...just speculation,, but a nice find regardless. Larry

Oh totally Larry, I'm imaging them just using them to open cans... So beautiful though, and the bakelite grips are so handsome, I just had to have one for my Heer impression. I also have a "Butcher Blade" from WW1, so I needed one of these as well. The "Butcher Blade" is really scary, I bet that one definitely got used!
