Glad to hear its legit, appreciate it! Definitely some machining marks but the plating looks pretty strong to me and I don't think it's been sharpened. From what I can tell there hasn't been an edge ground into the blade. Maybe effects from the lighting? Could be wrong though, definitely not an...

Picked up this E.Pack & Sohn dress bayonet at an in-person auction but wasn't able to get a good look at it before bidding. From what I could google, it seems OK to me. It's in great shape, which has me a little suspicious. Could anyone help authenticate?

Thanks for the info here guys, I'm not sure I could have tracked down those details on my own. I wasn't able to get a good look at the scabbard before purchasing so I knew it was a gamble on if it would match but at least it still has some interesting history. Looks like I'm still on the hunt...

UPDATE: I missed a clear stamped '40 on the spine of the blade so that answers my earlier question. I've added a picture of the spine. Seems like '40 cqh codes aren't all that common but it's a shame the scabbard doesn't match. Would there still be any collector interest in a 40cqh without the...

Hey guys, new to the forum and the K98k. I stumbled across what I believe is a Russian Capture at a local store and currently have it on hold to pick up tomorrow. What are RC's going for these days? Anything I should be aware of when I go to pick it up? I'm hoping I didn't overlook anything...
