Scarce WW1 Turkish-Shortened German Ersatz Bayonet.

This one has the typical all metal hilt with the scarcer two part two step cross guard with muzzle ring. The two part guard and muzzle ring allows fitment on both the 8 mm. Mauser Gewehr 98 and earlier 8 mm. M1888 Commission Rifle. The blade is made of good steel with a shallow fuller to both sides. It has a pressed steel scabbard with the makers name impressed on one side, which I just can't make out, please see pictures. a very interesting bayonet in good condition, it has all over light pitting and staining, but if necessary it should clean up. The scabbard is missing its mouthpiece at the top but the still has the inside drag. It measures 18 inches long. Shipping to UK mainland only
