Re: Rare matching SGX Grey Ghost Bayonet
Hi. this is cheap as chips, it looks in very good condition, I sold one about 5 months ago for £455.99 and that was a good price, very few were made and even less exist, good luck Andy

Re: Rare matching SGX Grey Ghost Bayonet
In reality the grey ghost was named by John C.Jacobi the phosphated 44asw production, this is a normal sgx production, unfortunally little overpriced now.best regards,Andy

What's a 'grey ghost' bayonet?

Re: Rare matching SGX Grey Ghost Bayonet
Hi OB!..as posted in Post#3 the "Grey Ghost" bayonet is the end result of Phosphated fittings,, giving it that grey look. I am not sure of the manufacturing reasons why,, but these are rare to find none the less. Any other information is welcome as I will add this in the already pinned K98 Registry thread, until a future K98 sub-forum can be created.
Below are a few more pics of this type of Bayonet

Re: Rare matching SGX Grey Ghost Bayonet
It's a more involved topic, and while I'm tempted to take the discussion a little further, in the U.S. and elsewhere the phosphate type finishes had been used for years as a cheaper, faster way to finish iron/steel as a way to inhibit the formation of rust. But the Germans kept to their traditional processes, migrating from an older more costly 'rust blueing' process to a 'hot dip' (black oxide) that was still being used until the end. But not 100% across the board, with large scale makers like Mauser-Werke ("byf") and Hörster ("asw/sgx") leading the way with the conversion to the phosphate type finish. And Mauser-Werke itself at the end planning to move its factory (which never took place) with both processes. Fred

SGX44 is one I'd love to add to my cutlery collection - most matching 44 dated bayos are up in price

Good info - thanks (runs off to check own bunch of bayonets - just kidding; My bayos are all blued).

Re: Rare matching SGX Grey Ghost Bayonet
A rare animal! I haven't come across a matching phosphated 44 bayo in I don't know How long. As for the price, I'd be tempted to pick this one up myself! It looks great!
