K98 Combat Bayonet (Seitengewehr 98K). The K98 bayonet was a standard issue item and was accompanied by a bayonet frog to be worn on the reverse left side of the load carrying waist belt. The K98 bayonet remained the standard issue bayonet through-out the war with minor manufacturing variations. The bayonet and scabberd are both marked with serial-number '2844mm' and maker marked and dated '43 asw' indicating production in 1943 by the company of 'E. & F. Horster & Co.' from Solingen. The blade is in very good condition, the bayonet is having wooden grips. Nice original matching bayonet in good condition!
