A scarce variation of the plated "Pioneer" with wooden grips. These Ersatz stag looking grips are generally found on unplated late KS98. Is it broken at the pommel?

I think this is the first wood/stag I've seen on a pioneer type. Nice variation to have, and the slot dose look like someone tried to force it on a rifle at one time? But still it would be hard to fine another one any time soon.
Thanks for posting Steve,

Yes it does to appear to have been forced on a rifle other than that all else is good on it. timothy

Thanks Timothy. It is a scarce bayonet regardless of the damage.

George,
What do you think of the rivets?

George,
What do you think of the rivets? Billy, I think the rivets are OK. They appear to be plated steel, which is right for these wooden grips. A bit crudely peened on the back but I think they are period correct for a late no maker like this. George

George,
The reverse of the rivets was the first thing that jumped out at me, thanks for your thoughts.
