I was out traveling around today hitting some of my usual haunts looking
for various and sundry types of militaria. I spent a couple of fruitless
hours hitting dry well after dry well with nothing to show for it.
I thought to stop at a local antique mall on the way home and there my luck
changed. One dealer had a couple of K98 bayonets in his case, one a
mismatched clc1942 the other a matching jwh44 in about as nice a condition
as you could hope to find. When I was actively collecting '44 date K98 bayonets
this was one that had always eluded me , not even a bedraggled mismatch.
This one came with a mounted frog marked enn/43 the code for
Alois Grull, Taschner, Wien 75. All in all I'm one very happy camper.
Here are some pics.
