Gunshow haul
Well, went to the Winston Salem (nc) gunshow today and came back with a couple of goodiesthe first one is a 1941 marked y strap, and a k98 bayonet. Paid 80 for the y strap and 125 for the bayonet I also got about 15 or 20 cigaret cards for 20 dollars I didn't really count them, I just told him I'd take all of them
I also think the bayonet might be tropical because there is a little bit to tan paint left on the scabbard under the frog. Also sorry about side ways pics
Here are some more pics of the y straps
That's an interesting reinforcement in those Y-Straps (by the O-Ring)...I don't believe I've ever seen that before ...Thanks for showing...
cheers, Glenn
Two nice pickups,I believe your bayonet scabbard is not German,looks like Polish.....Pete.

the dealer that i bought the y-strsps from had a lot of reproduction stuff, he said the straps were original so i took a chance, I'm glad they are original or else id be out 80 bucks.

Nice stuff wafbuff Looks like gun shows still have their fair share of militaria haven't been in so many years. Agree with others on your scabbard just what I can see Polish has a shorter ball at the end is not Waa like German Military scabbards. They are painted a OD type or light green and some have a seam down sides of them are lighter in weight. That is not unusual and very well probably came with the 84/98 you show as scabbards got switched around and their are a lot of the foreign ones that fit K98 I have the opposite of your set up I have a Polish WZ 28 bayonet reworked by germans in a German Scabbard and frog of course. Very nice items no doubt original good items. timothy
Y straps and bayonet
Polish WZ 28 rework by Germans in German scabbard, frog. Notice triangle on blade of bayonet I think I can see that on the upper part of your scabbard. Screw is in middle German is on side. All in all makes it a more interesting bayonet. regards timothy
