Hello! Help to determine what the correct bayonet and etching?
Your bayonet is a Bavarian S71/84 Extra-Seitengewehr. It is a proper private purchase sidearm worn for walking out dress. Made by WKC and retailed by Hierteis in Furth.
Thank you. As I understood the etching-normal?
The etching was an extra cost option for the soldier who bought the bayonet. It is of a known standard Bavarian motto etch style that is found on these bayonets.
Everything is realized! Again, thank you!
Very nice bayonet. Never owned one, guess I should start looking.
Nice etched s71/84 bayonet. timothy
