German S98 nA bayonet

[Alex W]

Hello everyone,

Here is my recently acquired German S98 nA bayonet made by E & F Hörster, Solingen in 1906. It does show a little bit of age greying but is in far better condition than most of these are. The scabbard has the same inspector marks as the bayonet, its just a shame both are not unit marked. Ive been on the hunt for one of these on and off for 10 years and it feels good to finally find one in a condition I'm happy with.

Any comments welcome.

That's very nice Alex and the best example of this model I have ever seen. If it's been cleaned it has been done skillfully and not excessively.

Thanks Anderson - Im no expert but I can't see any red flags that its been messed around with however being in such nice condition does make me wonder. I like to think that most of the time I get my items for the right price however this one cost me top dollar.

Very nice looking Bayo.
I still hope to find one of these for my own collection.
