Hello everyone !
I managed to grab this piece of german bayonet and since I am not an expert I have some questions.
From my understanding all german bayonets until 1937 had wooden grips and this one is clearly from 1936 as a date on scabbard implies but it has bakelite grips for some reason.
So this happened often among all makers and manufactures ? Could they hypothetically mount bakelite grips at the end of 1936 ?
Or maybe it was replaced by orginal owner during war period ? It definiately looks like that because I can guarantee that it wasn't touched after the war because it has spent all these years well hidden in an old household in Poland near Posen/Poznań and as you can see all grips weren't moved for many years.
Thanks for all your feedback
