Didn't get this metal detecting but picked it up at an estate sale for $20.00 I'm pretty sure it's German. I'ts made by W K&C Solingen and on the hilt is stamped 31.R (cursive "R") .4.61. and on top of the hilt is a stamped insignia like a crown or english letter. It is 26" long. Thanks...Rich.

Sry I can't ID it Rich, but there's plenty shooters around Tnet.

If you don't get an ID quick, try one of the gun boards...  plenty of 'em !

Looks like an interesting curio to hang on the wall.

Good luck

Imperial German Model 1898 Bayonet.  You are missing some parts but complete with a scabbard in good condition can run over $200.  In fact I just saw one listed for $265 but it was complete and in better condition.

That is a nice man sticker for sure! Doubles as a spit for toasting marshmallows on those long nights in the trenches.

But then again I have seen them for sale for about $30 or less.  They are not partucularly rare. I collect military bolt action rifles and several of them came with bayonets.  I have a couple of those that came with a two of my early Mausers.  Monty

A lot of things are sold on ebay at inflated prices.  I have all the bayonets I need and I even use a '93 Mauser bayonet to dig with some times.  It is a little long and unweildy but if I am in a rough neighborhood it keeps the baddies at bay just having it.  Even at the true value of those bayonets, you got a good deal.  Monty

M1898 made by Simpson & Co. in 1905 or 6. for the mauser 1898.

Edit: Yours in on this page:

Is the wood one piece or two pieces?

One piece is old Pattern (a.A.) and a two piece is new Pattern (n.A.)
