Hi buddies, what do I deserve this bayonet? .... The salesman told me that it is of the First World War.




I appreciate your comments and new information about this piece.

It is a S98/05 from the time of the Weimar Republic. While it was made during WWI it has been reworked by blueing it after 1919.

Orpo Thanks for your answer, I mean that it is possible that could have been used during the Second World War?

Yes it was used probably by second line units or Police units in WW2.

AndyB Thanks for your answer, forgive my ignorance, but do you know if the Grip panels of this bayonet are wood or a type of plastic? In the images of the seller ... I can not see well.

The grips are wood.

It also appears to have originally been a sawtooth...

Yes a sawback-removed bayonet. This could have been done in 1918 by order of the Prussians and Bavarians or it could have been done after the war when it was blued.

A sawtooth?

By the way, it belongs firearm this bayonet?

Yes it was sawback spine on the blade, removed in 1917, then reblued in Weimar era, the firearm that was used with could be Mauser modells Gew.98, Kar98az, K98b, or K98k.

If, according to my own research is for the rifle and carbine Mauser Model 1898.

One question, what does Sawback?
