K98 Combat Bayonet (Seitengewehr 98K) with Tropical Frog. 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 '1601' and maker marked and dated '42 asw' indicating production in 1942 by the company of 'E. & F. Horster & Co.' from Solingen. The blade is in very good condition and might have been slightly sharpened once, the bayonet is having wooden grips.The webbing frog is in good used condition and faintly marked on the back, see photos. Nice original bayonet with tropical frog in very good condition!
