Stag Grip Long Dress Bayonet

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Bayonets > Dress Bayonets

Extra-Seitengewehr 98K mit Seitengewehrtasche. A nice extra cost feature is stag grips! The bright plated 250mm blade. It's in excellent condition with just normal light wear. The blade rates Exc++. The leather buffer pad remains. The black enamel painted dent-free scabbard has some wee scratches and some rub marks from wear. 95% of the original paint remains intact. The original throat retaining screw remains intact and unturned. The scabbard fits the hilt perfectly! The nickel-plated alloy hilt has good plating and a fully functioning mortise button. There is a green wool felt plug in the mortise slot. The ersatz multi-toned grips plates are actually wood that has been burnished to resemble stag. Neat variation we see with later pieces. They are well fit and secured with 2 steel rivets. They are in near perfect condition with no cracks or chips anywhere. Finally finishing this is a luftwaffe portepee that has been on the three rivet frog forever.
