    Hello, I bought this case without a bayonet because it is in good condition and there is no rust on it, it is still with its original oxidation.
    I wonder why this hole was made in it?
    I apologize for the bad English.

    Hello,

    the hole is not official. Somebody drilled a hole in it after 1945.

    Regards

    Do you know what the hole was for?

    Hello,

    Since I didn't drill it in, I can't answer it for you. I just know it doesn't belong there.

    Regards

    Assuming it was formerly paired with a bayonet, the hole may have been used for display purposes, such as for wall hanging. But that's just a guess.

    It could be for wall haenging attachement.

    A bit of a clumsy way to display a scabbard by drilling a hole through it. A wire loop or even plastic cable tie might have been preferable.

    The hole is made so that a bolt can be screwed into it

    I suppose there are endless reasons as to why someone put a threaded hole into the hook.
    Possibly to attach something to the bayonet for display or utility. It is a small mystery and we’ll probably never know.

    These war relics we come across have been roaming around the world for many decades and have changed hands countless times. You are bound to find curiosities like this from time to time.
