    Default Nice yard sale find

    Hi guys I just picked up two German ww2 dress bayonets both made by W.K.C one is in great shape and still has the red wool in the slot for attaching to a K98 and the other one is nice, but has some chipping to the grip. I also picked up a K98 combat bayonet with frog also made by W.K.C but has unmatching numbers and some one has sharped it. Finnaly but not least I bought a WW1 Austrian deer leg knife that is about the size of a boot knife I am not very shore what it was used for but I liked it. All these items came from one yard sale that was held by a son of a vet that served in ww2 and picked these items up at the end of the war. I bought these four items all together for $50. Hope you guys like and maby could help me with some information about the deer leg knife.

    Thanks

    Good Deal, IC, but:

    Why do you assume, it´s an Austrian dagger ? ...

    Hello Iron Cross,
    that's almost for free... and everything seems to be in good condition too...
    Anyway, "the deer leg knife" is a German private puchase trench knife commonly used in WW1...

    I'm not an expert in trench knives, but I know that both German and Austrian soldiers had these kind of knives. Since it's a private purchase item, you can't tell it's German or Austrian, unless... you see some markings. Please show pics of the markings...

    Hi Adler like I stated before the blade reads "crown cuttlery Co Austria". I can not get a good pic because my camera is not working at the moment.
