K-98 MAUSER BAYONET, SCABBARD AND BELT FROG – AN
EARLY WORLD WAR TWO SET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION – BAYONET
DATED 1939 – BELT HANGER DATED 1940: As
issued by the German Army with the K-98 Mauser Rifles,
this K-98 Bayonet is dated 1939 and is complete with the

The bayonet is in excellent condition, retaining its
full form, and the majority of the original blue finish
to the blade, guard and pommel. Showing no evidence of
sharpening, the edge is clean with no nicks. The
ricasso is legibly stamped with the serial number on one
side and the maker’s name on the opposite. The date of
production “39” is legibly stamped on the spine of the
blade. The grip scales are in excellent condition with
no chips or cracks, and they have a nice, rich color.
The scabbard is in like wise very good condition,
retaining much of the original finish, with some light
frosting. The serial number is legibly stamped just
below the rim of the opening. The leather belt hanger
covering is complete with no missing leather and the
stitching along the seam is fully intact. The hanger is
stamped on the reverse of the belt loop with the maker’s
name and the date of manufacture, 1940. The leather has
an overall smooth surface with no crazing or flaking,
and shows only minimal shelf scuffing.
This is a very nice set with desirable early war dates,
and one that will display well with your early K-98
Mauser Rifle and the related accoutrements. (0307) $250
