Greetings all, I was recently given this relic K98 Bayonet & frog and was just curious if it was possible to verify the authenticity and maybe identify a year. Both have no maker marks. Please feel free to ask for more pictures.
Verification of k98 bayonet & scabbard
Greetings all, I was recently given this relic K98 Bayonet & frog and was just curious if it was possible to verify the authenticity and maybe identify a year. Both have no maker marks. Please feel free to ask for more pictures.
The brown plastic should be used 1938-42, color of grip should be examined by daylight photo wout flash, the rust is too deep, the frog is a repro and the scabbard is probably from different maker as different stage of rust, even it was laquered black probably.
The Bayonet is a ground dug up find ...the scabbard and frog were added later after it was dug up = parted together
The overall condition to each other is unmatching.
since it was given to you there is no loss of money.
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

That makes sense, thank you both for your input.
