The first is for all the models of bayonets used from imperial german army from1850 until 1918 and some reichswehr models. The second is for ersatz bayonets. The third is for frogs and Knotts for the bayonets. On ersatz book a part from my collection is shown. Regards D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A VERY RARE MARKING, WHICH WHEN YOU SEE IT, YOU BUY IT ASAP. REARDS, D. As I have stated before on this discussion, very few S 98/05 bayonets have been recorded with markings of the imperial navy [kaiserliche marine] mainly because the navy preffered the S 98 used by the infantry. On a very few S 98, dated 1906 - 1907, a crowned M above the date was used, in place of a royal cypher, but no similarly marked S 98/05 has been located. A single 98/05 is known, which has an M below a simplified imperial krown [kaiserkrone], in place of both cypher and date. Here are the photos of this extremely rare bayonet 98/05. The manufacturer has been erased and it is marked for Reichswehr with added date on the crossguard 1920. An Ostsee unit marking is on the scabbard. Regards to all and have all Merry Christmas and a very happy new year, with prosperity and health to each of you and your family. Be well all friends. Regards, D. P. S.

Steve1871 Posted 25 December , 2018 Share Posted 25 December , 2018 That is very nice, you call it a 71/98? We're these official or odd balls like my Bavarian PFM's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuluwar2006 Posted 26 December , 2018 Author Share Posted 26 December , 2018 Steve Merry Christmas. This is not calling 71/98 but an ersatz bayonet with handle from 98 bayonet and blade from M 71 bayonet. The bayonet is similar with 2 more bayonets existing in private collections. The first recorded 50 years before in uk. The second in France and this one find it in Alsasce on 2009. Roy examined all 3 and was sure it is original and it fits absolutely on gewehr 98. It is probably made in depots or used experimentaly??? There are also 2 recorded examples with ersatz handle and M 71 sawback blade. Also those are originals. And a M 98 handle with 71 sawback blade reffered by P. Kiesling and examined by him and found it original. Nevertheless a lot of mysteries still exists on Ww1 german bayonets and some models we have not until today decipher. Christian Mery on his book for ersatz bayonets has photos from a blade of a M 1892 French bayonet with handle from M 98 bayonet. Really strange and unrecorded but original absolutely as found it at somme during excavations for a road. I will post some photos from the books when have some time. Regards D.

zuluwar2006 Posted 26 December , 2018 Author Share Posted 26 December , 2018 Here are the photos from Christian's Mery book about ersatz bayonets in which you can see this unique previously unrecorded ersatz bayonet. The handle us the same as EB 125 ERSATZ BAYONETS on Carter's and Roy Williams books. I took and some photos from the first and last pages as well and the site if Christian for reference reasons. The location was Argonne and not Somme as I mentioned previously, where the bayonet found. Regards D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuluwar2006 Posted 26 December , 2018 Author Share Posted 26 December , 2018 And the 2 other models I am previously referring to. Both are catalogue on Ww1 bayonet books and recorded. Regards D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
