K98 Bayonet Question - Restoration Complete
This is my 3rd installment concerning the recent K98 bayonet I recently purchased. I have soaked the handle, screws, & flash guard in vinegar as suggested and it worked great. It removed all the rust & corrosion. It has totally changed the appearance of the bayonet. I have a real bargain at $80. Hope you enjoy the pictures and comparisons. I have enjoyed communicating with everyone and sharing this project with you. Thanks for all your help.
Sincerely,
William

Nice work.
It is always satisfying to see your work completed knowing that you did a good job.
Finished Bayonet
Finished Bayonet. The grips were two very different colors or finishes. One was light, natural wood and the other very dark almost black finish.
Wrongly mounted screws.
How should they be mounted? I removed them without looking at & noting their placement. Thanks for your sharp eye.
I went back and looked at the original pictures and see they have to go in the other way. Will Do. Thanks again for bringing that to my attention. That's why we have your experts.
