$550.00
The bayonet has an overall length in the scabbard of approximately 13-3/4 inches. The blade shows spots and scratches with verdigris. One side of the blade is etched with an open wing eagle and swastika as well as with the motto of “Zur Erinnerung An Meine Dienstzeit” (“In Memory of My Service Time”). The leather washer is in place at the top of the blade. The bayonet has stag grip plates, with the grip plate on one side having a closed crack that is approximately 2-1/4 inches long. The nickel plated pommel shows some loss of the plating on the edges. The scabbard paint exhibits scratches and chips to the painted finish. There are small indentations on each side of the base of the scabbard which do not effect the ability to draw or sheath the scabbard. The black leather frog has wear to the finish on the reverse side but the frog is pliable.
