Matching unsharpened jwh41

So after some back and forth I was able to get pictures of the scabbard serial and makers markings to confirm it was all matching. That said this is the 2765th bayonet made in occupied France for the K98. It came with the frog, belt and steel buckle. Now I am missing only the elusive jwh44 to complete my set. Blade is excellent with original finish. This set looks like it spent 70 years in a basement.

Thanks. She won’t win any beauty contests but these early jwh bayonets don’t seems to show up all that often in my neck of the woods.

They don't show up often in ANY neck of the woods. Staatliche finished somewhere less than 20,000 pieces in 1941 after occupying the facility. Love these bayonets from occupied France. Great find!
 
Thanks. Once I confirmed the scabbard markings I jumped on it. Now to find a matching unsharpened jwh44!!!
 
I sold a matching 44 to a guy in France oddly enough several years back. Nice 41 !!
