Found a locally listed k98 with a sling and bayonet I am thinking the sling is a repro. I am also unsure of the reason for the metal bar on the stock by the sling hole. The gun is mismatched with a few matching serial numbers. Curious on what I should offer for it and if the bayonet and sling seem authentic.
Thoughts on a locally listed k98. (pictures included)
- Thread starter JG998
- Start date
here are some more pictures of the bayonet and scabbard along with a few of the stripper clips. Scabbard looks unmarked and bayonet looks to have a small bird looking mark at the base of the blade on the guard.

I`m not sure about this being a Portugese contract bayonet. The serial number stamped on the pommel does not have a letter prefix and I think the serial number is too high. The stamp on the cross guard is another WaA stamp like the ones on the pommel. There is a stamp on the finial ( small ball on end of scabbard) should be a WaA stamp as well but hard to tell from pic.

It's a Portuguese contract bayonet and it belonged to a M937 with the serial number "8328 o". The M937-A and M937-B bayonets have the letter prefix.
