Bayonets bought in a Russian village

**Datrus** · 12-08-2011, 11:38 PM

Here is some bayonet bought in small Russian village. I am not a bayonet guy so to speak, but icould not find any reason not to buy them. Maybe some of you will be helpful with some ID and background on these. I will write the little i know about them with the pics.

No 1: This should be a Argentine "Lend-Lease" bayonet for Germany?

No 2: K98 i guess. Don't really know.

No 3: Not sure. It has a stamp 36 and big X

No 4: German. That is all.

No 5: Should be a Slovakian made K98 Bayonet, hence the Cyrillic letters

I hope you will find it interesting.

Number 5 is a Yugoslavian M48 bayonet. '44' Isn't the date of manufacture, it's postwar. Nice bayonets!

Thanks for the info Moe. I don't think the seller was trying to cheat or anything. You know what kind of rifle the bayo is for? Got it all quite cheap.

It's for the Yugo M48 Mauser, a postwar K98 clone: M48 Mauser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks a lot Eric. For parades and such i guess. Things start happening when the American guys get online

By the way 4 is made by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co (WKC)& has been manufacturing military swords and cutlery in Solingen, Germany, a city famous since the middle ages for its metal-working and craftsmanship in sword making.

And yes they were for parades and such.

#1 - Argentina - these were made in Germany for export.
#3 - British 1907 pattern for the Lee Enfield of WWI.

The bayonets pictured are all quite common, and I like
each and every one of them.........!
