Memphis Military Antiques
Memphis Military AntiquesThis is a fantastic example of a WWII German bayonet made for the K98 rifle! These bayonets were carried in combat by the vast majority of the German army during the war.
This bayonet was manufactured by E. u. F. Hörster & Co. in Solingen, Germany. We can tell this by the "43ASW" stamped into the ricasso.
The frog (the leather piece on the scabbard) is stamped with the maker and the date of manufacture "Gebr. Graf, Kuchenheim 1942".
This is a fantastic bayonet to add to any WWII collection!
