A 'high-eared' Chassepot! I was looking into the origin of the 'high ears' on the early 98/02's and 98/05's and I had an idea that it was developed from the practice of cutting-of muzzle rings to fit the barrel of a Gew 98.... This looks as if it might be supporting evidence for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajan Posted 22 June , 2018 Share Posted 22 June , 2018 I have seen several of these in Turkey, many with the same type of scabbard, but none marked with the Eagle or 'DEUTSCHLAND'... Photographs show Ottoman soldiers 'somewhere in Anatolia' with M-N rifles and bayonets, with the same type of scabbard - see: https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/261673-ottoman-soldiers-with-mosin–nagants/?tab=comments#comment-2651102, suggesting some of those captured on the Eastern European front made their way over here.

zuluwar2006 Posted 1 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 1 July , 2018 a very rare ersatz chassepot bayonet converted to fit the gewehr 88 rifle. the back of the muzzle ring, facing the hilt, milled out to a depth of 1,5 mm leaving a curve edge to the ring, which then fitted over the muzzle and against the barrel jacket. the first 33 mm of the hilt's back, measured from the crossguard, was machined concave to match the curve of the barrel jacket. the next 25 mm was stepped down and the last 50 mm was machined down even further, to give the T-shaped attachment groove a depth of only 6,5 mm. These alterations allowed the crossgyard to fit the muzzle, the back of the hilt to sit close against the barrel jacket, and the pommel to slide over the gewehr 88 short attachment bar. BUT in this case, the french press stud would still not clip into position [the french hilt was too short]. This problem was overcome by removing the rivet, securing the steal leaf spring and by then cutting an aditional hole throught the brass, to take a steel extention with a new catch. The original press stud was ground to remove its catch and then replaced in position with the original spring. thus the original stud and spring were retained but operated a new catch placed closer to the pommel. this convertion was made during the early part of the ww1.

And great to have the original paint on the scabbard! I am way behind - by 10 months - on my unit markings data base, so this is a nice one to add when I get time to do so!

Certainly an odd one... The 1909 Regulations have only one entry for cadets, an Italic 'K' for "Kadetten (Haupt-Anstalt)'. However, one German source indicates that 'C.1' is in the Prussian 1900 Regulations for 'Kadettenhaus Waffe 1', and 'C.1.2' in same regulations is for 'Haupt-Kadetten-Anstalt, 1 Kompagnie, Waffe 2'. 'E' in the 1909 Regulations is used for 'Eskadron'. Question I cannot answer is - did the Prussian Cadet Schools have a cavalry section?
