    Good evening,

    I am considering purchasing a historical German dagger, and after searching around for a couple of weeks, I found this. What are your thoughts, are there any red flags like a beginner like me might have missed?
    In addition, roughly, what is the highest price I should be willing to pay for this item?
    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Hello.

    Would not be classified as a dagger but a dress bayonet... ks98 dress bayonet.
    used with walking out uniforms.

    But a decent looking bayonet and nice with the red felt insert.. always a bonus when the felt is in them!

    Depends on where you are located in the world
    But 120-140 euro i think would be a fair price..

    Whoever had that listed under " daggers " , does not know the basic difference between an edged weapon having 2 edges ( dagger ) versus one. ( Knife )

    Yet the word " knife " can carry both meanings.
    A Bayonet can be used as a dagger or thrust weapon ..the end result equals to severely injured or death.

    I hope you got a bargain price

    Yes, a less common maker, with unique spanner screws different to the E Pack type. Condition good/ average, the scabbard lets it down. Correct frog. I would think about US $130 if from a US based dealer.

    I wouldn't purchase such an item as the bolts & spanner nuts holding the grip plates in place are definitely not original to the piece. I've owned a couple of Evertz KS98 & Feuerwehr bayonets & followed dress bayonets for some time & never seen one with this type of assembly. The only known examples with such a configuration are from Pack & Aesculap.

    The bolts do not look special at all but rather something that worked in a pinch. The spanner nuts on the reverse give the example a pinch of authenticity but it's only an attempt to deceive. Avoid such a headache & save your money for a period original with no questions.

    Will agree with Billy G on this after taking a second look.. save your money and find a better one..
    Plenty of theese around and to be found for a good price.

    The grip screws and spanner nuts could be from a service S.84/98 (98K) bayonet. The frog I'm a little less certain about - thinking that it might be a modified Luftwaffe service frog that has had the rivets removed. In any event this combo would be one that I would pass on and keep on looking for one that does not have any possible "issues". Best Regards, Fred

    Good to have a debate for once. I can't see anything in the screws and nuts that immediately says post war additions. The third photo shows a close look at one screw and it appears to have been some nickel plating remaining, as you would expect on a dress bayonet. The screw heads are too large for a S.84/98 combat, even the 1918 version (which I have). And Fred I can't see any evidence of rivets once residing in that frog. I have an unmarked KS98 bayonet that has screws and spanner nuts, very similar to this one. The only difference being the screw has no crosshead. I wouldn't rule this example out simply on the basis of rarity, as the maker itself is not often encountered. In that case it is very hard to say a maker "never did that" over 15 years of production, where few example survive. That said I wouldn't pay any more than what I originally mentioned and there are certainly better ones out there.
    If I had to guess, I would wonder if this is not a 1920's version. The scabbard has some early suggestions about it.

    Example of spanner nut dress bayonet, maker as of yet unknown.
