During the course of our collecting path we may sometimes acquired blades with non-original scabbards. Sometimes these looks to be a periodically paired. I wonder what will you do in such situation ? Will you match it up with a correct scabbard or leave it as is ?  Keith

it depends. I collect only polish bayonets, so if I have german revorked blade in german scabbard and frog I leave it as I found.
But when I find "untouched" piece I try to match a proper, polish scabbard with all correct signs.

Tomasz,
Interesting that what triggers me to ask this question is a 37' 98K that came with a Polish scabbard. It is common to see a Polish blade with a 98K scabbard but not vice versa.
The bayonet in question has a thin layer of rust which is in the same condition as the scabbard. I checked the wear marks and they match up pretty well. Actually I bought this set solely for the scabbard but now I decided to keep them as is.
Anyone else ?
Keith

Hi Andy,
The bayonet is a 37' Clement & Jung serial 728c. Information has been forwarded to you earlier. The scabbard is unmarked except Eagle 77 at the side, from what I known this scabbard was for WZ.28. The waffenamt was done at the Radom factory.
Regards,
Keith

Great piece, it could be correct fieldwork upgrade on this, or You could wait for a Radom E/77 proofed bayo. best regards,Andy

I have two or three 98k's in polish scabbards, but have not a single Polish in a German one, weird how peopel see completly different things despite essentally collecting the same thing. Me i keep original pairings together usually but have been know to swap theodd one around - i.e.98K military in a police scabbard witll get swapped around for a polish issue 98k in a Polish or other scababrd. DOnt bother to pair makers marks as a rule unless of course i ever come across a mismatched pair that will make a single matcer
