Original bayonets but ruined with post war inscriptions.
Both have fake etchings. They are bad.
The bayonets themselves are orignal, but are now ruined.
Cheers, Ade.

Thank you. What is their value?
To be honest very little as they have been ruined!...by matijass
Pretty much only good for parts now. The leather frog, the sheath, the grip panels, etc. The Blades and hilts are worthless as they have been defaced.

I would agree with William.
Crazy as it seems (to me anyway) some people do collect these fakes.
Cheers, Ade.

Sadely some more fake etches of good 84/98 and KS98 bayonets read a article here while back entitled "Quit etching K98 bayonets" however I think they are 45 years too late. timothy
4 years ago, i was in the flea market in Prague(closed now) and there was 4 sellers of militaria, all the bayonets were like this one, only one without SS...!
For tourists, I think.
