Dates from the First World War - there might be a date on the back of the blade.

It is a S84/98 made by Deutsche Mashinenfabrik A-G or Demag for short.

Fitted the Mauser K98 rifle.

The design (without the sawback) was the standard design used by German forces in WW2.

The saw was designed as a tool - not as a means of inflicting additional injury.

Looks to be in good condition.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Richie

Hi, thanks, there is no numbers stamped in it, but some small marks who seems to be a kings crown and a letter under?
but they are very small.

They are inspection stamps.

They are inspection stamps.

This is on a sword pommel, but the same idea, which also indicated government property. FP

Hi, yes it could be the same stamp, thanks.

As this is not a pioneer bayonet sawback in this case was destined for NCO.
