AJ, I bought 3 k98 rifles, I can see how you read my post, I should have been more specific, I collect k98 bayos mostly and after playing with the sword, I have decided to keep it for now. I would like to start to learn more about this sword and the other 2 lion/panther head swords I have so, what would be everyones opinion on the best reference book to have for German swords. I think swords are under valued in my opinion, but I guess its whats in demand, you can buy a k98 rifle matching in good condition for about the same as a good dagger and now bayonet are on the rise. Its just funny how things are valued for the money. Thanks Eric
