Just purchased this 98k bayonet. Pics. . .

Was looking for a nice bayonet, in about the same condition as a recently purchased ce coded 98k. A web search turned up the one pictured below. It arrived just yesterday. It's in original almost new condition, and is asw 43 coded. Serials match, and are off the rifle's serial number by just a few, having the same "u" suffix. There's not a single fleck of corrosion, and the scabbard is undented. All it needs now is an original minty condition frog!

John Gundersaon was a good man to deal with.

Is very nice piece, probably never used, the letter is v not u. Maker is Hoerster Solingen.

I second the comments on John Gunderson. He's a pleasure to deal with. I've been buying from him for a couple of years and never have had a problem. Also- nice bayo.

Very nice Bayonet....BILL

That is a beauty, tough to find that nice, and I love the wood grips.

Nice bayonet. I have not purchased from that seller, but I have heard that he has a good reputation.

Good find on it.
