Can someone help ID this troddel for me. It is attached to a Imperial German Private Purchase Sawback bayonet. What's neat is that I assume the troddel is made of copper or bronze thread making it somewhat heavier than the normal cloth examples.

I can use some information on this bayonet as I lack knowledge about the 84/98 III bayonets. This bayonet too has not seen the light of day for quite some time. I know it is a Railway marked bayonet, however, what does the RBD KS 138 marking on the cross guard mean? The finish on the blade...

I ran across a very nice 1944 asw 98k bayonet this weekend with riveted grips. Is this late bayonet an uncommon variant? I'm not too well versed in German WW2 bayonets. I appreciate your input......

Picked this up for my only 98k WW2 bayonet which is a matching O.6997P posted earlier.

This is my only WW2 German bayonet. Somewhat out of character for an Imperial Collector. Not sure how long its been since it saw the light of day.

An interesting match! Saxon 1871 bayonets issued to the same regiment, belonging to the same company with Waffen Nr. off by 71. SAWBACK ~ 108.R.11.135., GERB. SIMSON, A80. Plain Blade ~ 108.R.11.64., P.D. Luneschloss, A80.

I came across 2 more Imperial bayonets with Machine Gun markings. One is a 98/05 nA SAWBACK, dated W15 and marked: 93.R.M.G., the other is a 71/84 aA Plain Blade, dual maker, dated W87 and marked: J.R.157.M.G.1. I feel the 98/05 is unusual, in that it is a wartime Unit marked bayonet with a...

I thought I'd share some photos of my Machine Gun marked bayonets with the membership. The three (3) are as follows: Prussian 71/84 aA Plain Blade, made by WKC, W88 date, M.G.K.6.R.9 (nine is faint). Prussian KS98 Service-Issue Sawback, made by ERFURT, W04 date, R.M.G.A.11.70. Prussian 84/98...

As I was going through my photos, I realized I hadn't posted a fourth 98/02 along with the three on August 8th. This 98/02 is a Prussian / Saxon 1898/02 made by ERFURT, and dated W02. The cross guard is unit marked 12.P.1.30. (1st Royal Saxon Pioneer Battalion). Please refer to Carter's...

I couldn't refrain from picking this one up for 3 good reasons............. 1. It's a Saxon. 2. The RARE ALL Steel Replacement Scabbard, and 3. It's a Sawback.

I'm hoping the membership can help shed some light on this unusual sawback knife. 1. WW1 or 2? 2. Country of origin? 3. Purpose? 4. Unit marking? And any & all other details........ I provided a description and photos. The unit is light weight and nicely balanced. The blade itself...

I thought I would post my 98/02 bayonets to include a true SAXON (2nd Royal Saxon Pioneer Battalion No. 22) with a rare all steel scabbard. It is interesting to note from Carter's, Vol. I., pg. 15 covering Saxony 98/02's; "there were only two Saxon Pioneer Battalions numbered in line with the...

I've had this bayonet for some time and I don't believe I've yet shared this piece with the membership. If I have, please ignore this posting. This bayonet is made by GEBR. HELLER, MARIENTHAL with an undated blade which is common for this manufacturer from 1915-1917 (Carter, Vol. II, pg.181)...

I thought I was finished adding pieces to the collection, but I couldn't pass this one up for 2 reasons. First, I especially like Imperial kS98's, and second it's a rare Saxon issue. Ian Jackson's book on the Kurzes Seitengewehr1898 Model states on page 152 ~ a Haenel, AR14 with wood grips...

I thought I would share some of my KS 98 bayonets with the membership. Photo #1, Left to Right: Wood Grips with Flash Guard, Pioneer Searchlight Detachment (Wurttenberg), Flieger-Battalion...
