SOLD - 1944 K98 Bayonet - Scabbard With Frog

Description

3/13/24 - This is an original WW2 1944 CVL K98 bayonet with likely a "matching" scabbard and frog. This bayonet is in excellent overall condition, The majority of the blades original bluing remains other than some honest scabbard wear near the front third of the blade. The top of the blade is maker marked and dated "44 CVL." The other side of the blade is serialized, "3556g." The hand guard has the majority of the wear on both sides but no oxidation or pitting. Comes with a nice grip, and an excellent conditioned pommel with what I believe is a WaA519 stamp. The 9 is difficult to confidently make out. The scabbard has the majority of its bluing with some minor pinpricking towards the bottom half. Typical wear underneath the frog where it is maker stamped and dated, "44 CVL." Serialized "3555g" which looks to be slightly dented in due to the stamping. This is likely a "Matching Set" and simply a factory error due to it only being 1 number off. The denting does not affect the overall fit of the blade into the scabbard. The frog is missing the closure strap but in excellent condition and is maker marked, "RB Nr G/0566/0015." This is faintly marked so this is what I was able to make out. Great piece.
