Re: German bayonet.
The blade was made in 1943 by the firm Remscheider Hobelmesserfabrik Josua Corts Sohn. The scabbard in 1942 by E&F Horster.

Re: German bayonet.
The bayonet was made in Remscheid and the scabbard in Solingen.
You can find information on all of the documented makers of K98 bayonets here: Bayonet maker codes
Good luck with your research,

Re: German bayonet.

Re: German bayonet.
You are welcome...always glad to help when I can.
I personally see no benefit in taking it apart...but I am sure that there are markings of some sort on the tang. Not sure what benefit it would serve knowing that though.
I am from the camp of leaving things alone...unless you are trying to stop something from deteriorating. This is my personal opinion though...everyone is a little different!
All the best,

Re: German bayonet.
Hi Vamp Welcome to the forum! you came to the right place as we have some very experienced collectors here that can give anyone the best answer ranging in a wide variety of edged weapons. Each is proficient in their field of collecting. I have to agree with Chrys that if it is absolutely unnecessary to take it apart,, "Dont"!!
Unless you are (( mechanically inclined )) then I advise to proceed with extreme caution as the are no stores and home centers that have replacement parts if some part is accidentally damaged. One you alter History,, you also alter its worth. Curiosity killed the cat and will kill your artifact also
Bayonet collecting is in a class of its own from wooden to bakelite grips to numerous number markings. What is cool about collecting any of these types as these markings tell a story who made it,, where in Germany it was made,, and possibly knowing the distribution centers they came from and where they eventually ended up.
Posting photos sometimes is tricky. Some users rely on photo hosting sites and download their image from there. Sometimes they open and sometimes they dont. For me if I take my photo to a photo shop type website,, to clean it up a bit or resize,,,,one Im finished I will save it to my "Pictures" on my computer and then rename the file. This works for me after that it opens up to the photo.
If all else fails,, there is a forum at the top of the main page called "Technical / Design How to advice see the link below.
Technical/Design - Questions, How-to, & Advice-Technical Issues & Design Of Our Forum at War relics forum
These guys on there ,, ARE VERY ABLE AND CAN" help with any technical issues. Try to post your photos again! We look forward to seeing them. Nice to have you here. Best regards Larry
