SOLD - 1915 Butcher Blade Bayonet with Scabbard & Frog

Description

1/15/25 - This is a good condition Erfurt German rifle bayonet from 1915. The bayonet is in very good overall condition, with what's known as a "butcher" style blade. The blade is in great shape for its age, with shiny original finish and no signs of sharpening or misuse. The base of the blade is maker stamped and the spine of the blade is Imperial proofed with a 1915 date. The hand guard and pommel show light surface patina and spots of darker aging patina. Original wood grip panels are in great shape. The finish on the scabbard is thinning and there are several dents on the scabbard. However, these dents are not interfering with the functionality of the scabbard. The leather frog is in good condition for its age, and has some minor areas of wear. The frog is maker stamped on the back, but all that can be made out is "Franz .....Walsrod...".
