My favorite battledamaged relic.
Wow, I can see why.
The bits broken off the blade clearly corresponds to the holes ripped in the scabbard.
Imagine the bayonet on a Wehrmacht soldier, when it got hit - certainly food for thought.
What a thought provoking relic...well, to me at least.
Thanks for sharing it.
