Seitengewehr 98/05 nA Amberg Herder L15

Been after an Amberg bayonet for some time. I love how the Gew acceptance carries over.

Looks even better than the pics from the auction! Nice score!

Really like this one Cyrus! Glad you snagged

Not the easiest maker to find, only made in 1915, all from Herder blanks, - I agree with Carter that Amberg finished these blanks and then Bavaria relied upon Fichtel & Sachs (Schweinfurt) for Sg98/05's. The latter are rare dated 1915 and good numbers are known 1916-1918.

Thanks, everyone, like i said this has been high on my list for some time. There have been a couple high eared examples for sale but i missed out on them. I'd really like to find more Bavarian bayonets in general, there was a L15 Schilling that sold a few months back that i missed out on.
