Original K98 Bayonet

[snixprix]

What do you say about this bayonet, scabbard and frog. Original items? Value?

[Bill T]

looks like its in decent shape. Im not positive, but the frog doesnt look original to me. Do the scabbard and bayonet numbers match?? i would guess the bayonet and scabbard are original tho, but im no expert. i would say anywhere from $60-110 around here (VA) if its indeed original. if the numbers match, the value goes up in most cases

Looks like a post-war Czech rework.

It`s a German bayo,but reworked post-war by the Czechs.

Thanks for your answers, the seller just says K98 WWII german wehrmacht bayonet, with original frog. Please look at this one too,
Bayonet: 44 asw - 9031 a - 8778

Scabard: 43 fnj - 4259 f - 8778

What has been done exactly after the war, the blade looks painted

original, but has been messed with.
Always make sure blade and scabbard match because of value.
Compare with myne

1942 ASW--3177
Scabbard--1942--3177.

Best regards

IMO a Yugoslav rework ...

The frog´s also definately Yugoslavian pre WWII, (1948 pattern) !

But, if you didn´d spent too much money don´t worry ´bout that.

Also this "Yugo´s" are collectible !

Cheer´s,

R.
