Hi Hal, these are all nice clean examples.

I like the Fireman's bayonet in particular as it is so complete.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Hal , these look terrific

interesting to see on the Pack example that the grip plates are bolted and not riveted as is usual , and also that they are set off centre ! the knot and personalised frog are nice accoutrements on the firemans example , super pieces

Thanks guys, I've collected these things over the years (60's till...???) and now, thanks to this forum, I can actually show them to someone..... Best, Hal

Those are out of my league but much like you said this forum is a great place to show them, if not for this place I'd never have seen them and i certainly do appreciate seeing them. They are really works of art. Thanks for sharing them.

Question... Did Wehrmact and SS soldiers use these dress style bayonets in combat???

**Adrian Stevenson** · 02-23-2010, 11:40 AM

The simple answer is No. Of course, one cannot say for sure, it might have happened on a very, very, rare occasion. But why bother? Most men would already have the issue K98 bayonet and to have another bayonet on the belt would be dead weight. These have a blunt edge too.
