5/1/19 - This is an original early WW2 production K98 bayonet in minty condition. Beautiful bluing on the blade, handle, and scabbard. The toe of the blade and scabbard both have minor finish loss as shown in photos, but this is light surface wear. The blade is maker marked on one side and serial numbered on the other. The scabbard is matching serial numbered. The wood handle has no cracks or chips. The brown leather frog has some light surface wear but all original leather and stitching with a 1938 date and maker stamp on the back. All original and authentic.
