KS98 Short Bayonet - Puma Rig with Portepee

[Rossi]

Here is another recent pick up in this bayonet grouping I acquired. KS98 Short Bayonet - Full Rig by Puma - Solingen. Nice black dress frog and Portepee. I believe portepee is for Infantry - 1st Battalion - 3rd company. It is a nice knot and in excellent condition. Not sure on that but maybe one of our knot wizards will know more than I on it its significance / division / branch.

Rossi,
I believe you're correct about this infantry knot, 1st company, 3rd battalion. Overall, a very nice rig.


Michael,
Many thanks for the kind words


Mac,
I did see your Gebr. Gräfath KS98 on WAF. You're right, a fairly rare maker to encounter on anything, including a KS98. It should make a maker mark nut very happy.
