I recently bought this long-bladed KS98 from another BCN member. The blade configuration is the same as the short-bladed KS98 with narrow fuller and swedge tip. The only markings are "Garantie Stahl" on the ricasso. The scabbard is blued rather than painted.
The only other time I can recall seeing this type of blade is on the early dress-style Weimar/Nazi Police bayonets made by WKC & JA Henckels which Billy discusses in Kalvin's earlier thread.

Can anyone help me with information on this piece?

Garantie Stahl == Warranty steel

I have seen a couple of these over the years but have never found one that was in good shape, what does that say for the Warranty Smile.

I have one that just has the Garantie stamped on the blade so I'm not sure what is Warranted on it.

IMO it could have been WKC since I have three dress bayonets with this blade configuration.

Thanks for the info Terry. I wonder if WKC & Henckels were the only makers of these.
