want to bid on this K98 but have a question on the style of the number "3". Should they be the same style on the blade as the scabbard? http://cgi.ebay.com/GERMAN-WW2...7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50Thanks for your help Regards Sepp GDC 0292 Gold

hi sepp,,,it looks unusual,but i believe it is correct,,,can you believe how hard it would be to match a "mismatch" bayonet and scabbard???...if it were me,i would bid on it,,,Robert

Robert...Thank You...I understand what you mean,but the style of the number 3 is just different than the number 3 style on the scabbard...I would have thought they would marked both at the same time,using the same number 3 stamp. Or the numbers were added to a bayonet with out any numbers to match,and to increase the price?
Then again I see the 1939 on the scabbard match the bayonet...just have looked a several different K98's and the style of numbers are the same on both,(or at least the ones i have looked at) Thanks for the response.

it does look like a "red light" but look at mine apparently they are with different style of stamping between bayo and scabb... so its a safe buy
