And here is No 3, ok, near mint, not mint.
A nice mid war Behoerdenmodell / commercial S 84/98 from the 1941 Portugal contract, but without numbers.
It was never delivered to Portugal, and went via Wehrmacht to the USSR.
The story is, that those bayos were found in an old forgotten depot somewhere in Russia in the 1980´s.
The blade and scabbard are polished and blued, but the bluing is more a brown plum blueing.
The frog is from the Dutch maker v.d. Horst, 1941, and was added.
This one never saw service.
