Very nice and thanks for sharing. Nothing to be embarrassed about I don't have one yet.
Love the red bakelite grips!

Hello,
What is the marker and the year for the red bakelite grips ?
Regards
Nice examples
but these are two S84/98. A K98 Bayonet never exits.
Regards.
Hi Sleep Walker could you provide a brief History on the Seitengewehr 98. and why it has been called the K98?
Most of the seasoned readers know the difference and why..but the new collectors who have only known it as a K98 Bayonet only know it as such.
I think you would explain it best as a seasoned bayo collector.
Regards Larry

Some very nice bayonets that you have posted here - the red gripped ones were not normally marked on the interiors like the black Bakelite type. With the Germans calling the red to orange colored Bakelite plastics "Typ 41" although they were introduced early in 1943. With the plastic binder sharply reduced to conserve it, being replaced by wood particles as a filler. Best Regards, Fred
The Weyersberg Bakelite bayo is a beauty, for sure. From the frog and blade, it does not look to have been used. Just 70+ years of handling wear.
