Re: Dress Bayonet
The bayonet could be used by either the Heer or Luftwaffe.
A brown leather frog would be Luftwaffe. Black for Heer.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Dress Bayonet
Its a nice bayonet but someone has used a file or grinder to get rid of any rust marks

Re: Dress Bayonet
Thanks for the replays guys! Idon't really see any marks where something was used to grind it though. Feels perfectly smooth to me. Also, was $100 too much for this?

Re: Dress Bayonet
The cross guard has deep file or grind marks in it , the blade itself has been deeply cleaned, you can see where the deep scratches have been polished out on both

Re: Dress Bayonet
So does that kill the value by a lot Dave?

Re: Dress Bayonet
Those are marks from a wire wheel and not a grinder to clean it up IMO, also leather buffer pad is gone but I still think you did ok on price, though not a steal.

Re: Dress Bayonet
Whatever was used it was far too abrasive, the reason i would suggest was that the rust was quite deep therefore a deeper action was required, unfortunately it certainly does'nt help the resale value if you come to sell it later on, I looked again at the photos and cant be 100% sure but the grips might have been replaced or at least the wire wheel/grinder/file has caught the plastic and caused damage

Re: Dress Bayonet
I agree Dave, and I also noticed the grips. They look to be marked from incidental contact from the wire wheel but original.
