K98 Combat Bayonet & Frog
K98 Combat Bayonet with Frog (Seitengewehr 98K mit Seitengewehrtasche). 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 non-matching, the bayonet is marked with serial-number '3342' and maker marked with '43fnj' indicating production by the company of 'Alexander Coppel GmbH' (Alcoso) from Solingen in 1943. The scabberd is marked with serial-number '9355' and maker marked and dated 1938. The blade is in very good condition, the bayonet is having nice darkbrown bakelite grips. Both the bayonet and scabberd are showing some additional serial numbers, stamped on later. The bayonet comes together with its original leather frog as found together, the frog is in very good condition, see photos. Nice original bayonet and frog in good ondition!
