K-98 Combat Bayont (41 asw) E. & F. Hörster
This combat bayonet and scabbard unfortunately are mismatched numbers. The blade is marked number 7930 u on one side and on the other 41asw which indicates it was produced in 1941 and these code letters represent the E&F Hörster factory. The scabbard is marked 8534 1 on the obverse and on the reverse it is marked 44 fnj. The hilt fittings have a blued finish. The mortise button and lock work well. There is a waffen amt on the mortise button which is WaA883. This waffen amt matches the two stampings which are on the reverse pommel top. The grip plates are the brown bake-o-lite type. They show a little bit of usage here and there but there are no problems with them. The screws look like they have never been out. The scabbard show wear, were there was a frog at one time. The blade of this example is in excellent condition having some wear to the bluing on the high points but overall it still rates at about 90% blue. Although this is a mismatched bayonet it is a nice example and in my opinion is very collectible.
