The blade is good with some age related staining. The‘Seitengewehr’ was issued to NCO’s of the foot artillery and it also replaced the 98/02 bayonet used by the Pioneers. Blade length; 368 mm – 501 mm overall. The spine and pommel have the Kaisers Imperial mark. The wooden grips are held with two pins and are very good order. These saw back versions are not common as they were made in smaller numbers initially, and most had their saw backs removed after Britain condemned them as barbarous. The scabbard is the steel version with frog stud retaining the majority of its colour. See page 124 item No 270 of Watts & White ‘The Bayonet Book’ for similar. The price includes UK delivery. 21544.
