ITEM : B301 - EICKHORN Stag Handled Short
Dress Bayonet A very clean stag handled dress
bayonet marked with the late Eickhorn TM. The blade has very
light sharpening under close scrutiny and the grip retains all
of the original chrome finish with a working stud button. It has
the original green felt slug, identifying this
piece as a rarer Aviation pilots or supervisory troop sidearm.
Scabbard retains 80-85% original paint and comes with its
original tarred leather frog.

LUTTERS
Short Dress Bayonet
A heavily plated KS98 dress
bayonet by Lutters. This one has full hilt plating intact and a
thick blade buffer. The blade has one 2.5" patch of dark
peppering on one side of the blade only and has the Lutters
trademark in a prone position. The grip plates are good and
firm, scabbard has 60% paint and the black frog is virtually
flawless and unmarked. A nice clean German NCO dress bayonet.

ITEM : B304
- E.PACK & SOHNE Short Dress Bayonet (
Etched )
Showing an E-Pack Nr.11 pattern etch ( for
all service branches ) to Infantry Rgt.11. Almost certainly Pack
due to the favoured offset rivet and spanner nut combination on
the grip plates. Plating to bayonet 95% with two dark patches to
non etched side of blade. With a working press stud and early
eagle head pommel. The etch itself is well defined and clear,
showing on the obverse side.

ITEM : B305 - HORSTER
Long Dress Bayonet (
Pioneer )
Typical Horster production with the large oversized square
looking pommel. This bayonet is in good condition with a
flawless blade and crisp Horster trademark. The hilt plating
rates 90% with the majority of the 10% missing from one section
on the back-strap rifle slot, possibly caused from rifle
mounting. The blade buffer is in place, grip plates are good and
the black painted scabbard is 95% and numbered 835 on the
throat.
A nice good conditioned example.

ITEM : B306 - E-PACK
Long Dress Bayonet (
Pioneer )
Another Pioneere dress bayonet, this time made by E-Pack,
targeted at engineering troops the bayonet was produced without
a hook or quillion and care should be taken when assessing these
for originality, that the plating is intact on the rounded
corner of the finger guard. In good order, the hilt fittings
retain 95% plating, the grip plates are solid without damage,
and the blade plating shows no lifting, it does however have one
dark patch on the cutting edge caused by a 3" sharpening
attempt. Hardly visible and you have to look for it.
It has the rare Siegfried alongside E-Pack & Sohne trademark and a
scabbard that has 85% paint intact.

ITEM : B307 - E.PACK & SOHNE Short Dress Bayonet
( Etched )
Etched to
the Panzer Tank Defense Unit 24 " PANZER ABW. ABT. 24 "
motif to blade with the Anti Tank Gun Unit " Panzerabwehr
" etch to the opposite side. These patterns can be seen on
pages 153 & 167 of W.Tetchets book on etched dress bayonets.
Both recognised as Pack etches and rated as scarce the blade and
etch has been heavily polished and some plating loss to finger
guard due to wear. Stamped trademark and E-Pack rivets to grip
plates, and red felt slug in place.

ITEM : B308 - EICKHORN Imitation Stag Handled
Long
Dress Bayonet
This
piece is typical late war production and due to the over the
shoulder Eickhorn trademark can be dated to 1942. It has crude
wooden grip plates chiselled to imitate stag. The blade is
thinly plated with no lifting but does show wear or some dark
spots, the trademark unusually faces down the blade. There is
the slightest of movement on the blade probably down to the
hasty assembly. The hilt plating remains largely intact with a
black painted scabbard and 35% loss. A good representative
example of production in decline.
Maker marked - EICKHORN |

ITEM : B309 - KLAAS Stag Handled Short
Dress Bayonet
Almost
mint, other than a little paint loss from the scabbard ball and
a slight scratch to the reverse paint this bayonet by KLAAS is
perfect. Heavily plated fittings and Wehrmacht red felt slug in
place, even the buffer pad to blade is unworn. The leather frog
retains all of its original brown finish and remains supple, the
blade is spotless and bears a crisp KLAAS trademark.

ITEM : B310 - PUMA
Short Dress Bayonet ( Etched ) No scabbard
A tired
etched ( standard remembrance motto ) dress bayonet by PUMA,
this one is minus a scabbard and hence the blade has suffered
over the years with dark patches and plating loss especially to
the non-motto side of the blade. The hilt fittings also have
plating loss caused by impurities in the base metal. Grip plates
are intact and undamaged and the etch clearly visible, frosting
has long gone.
Maker marked - PUMA |

 |
ITEM : B311 - UNMARKED Imitation Stag Handled Short
Dress Bayonet
This
is a very late war unmarked dress bayonet produced with wood
grip plates to imitate original stag. The hilt fittings are
un-plated and are polished base metal, they also bear rough tool
marks normally observed on late war K98 combat bayonets. Paint
to scabbard is virtually 100% although I have not checked under
the black tarred frog. This piece reflects the
urgency in production towards the latter parts of the war and as
with the combat equivalent, relatively rare.

ITEM : B312 -
UNMARKED Weimar Short Dress Bayonet (
Etched )
This Weimar dress bayonet is
dedicated to a medical officer ( San Utffz hub kleinheidt
) and dated 1914-1917, it bears the early 3 rivet grip
configuration made in horn and although unmarked my guess would
be Eickhorn. The etch is a beauty, blued background and crisp
detailing, a couple of light patches to obverse blade and a few
light nicks to blade edge. Private purchase and possibly could
be attributed. Black paint 90+% remaining to hilt, mostly gone
to scabbard.
Maker marked - UNMARKED (UNAVAILABLE) |

ITEM : B313 - WINGEN
Short Dress Bayonet
A standard
small pattern dress bayonet by Wingen Jnr, the birds head pommel
on this example is very pronounced, both grip plates are intact
as is the plating to the hilt fittings. The blade is excellent
and has a crisp trademark and thick leather buffer. Missing its
felt slug, the scabbard retains 90% paint and is a good
representative example.
Maker marked - WINGEN Jnr |

 |
ITEM : B314 - WKC Long Dress Bayonet
The
bayonet itself is flawless, the plating to both blade and hilt
fittings is thick and 100% intact. The blade bears the
Weyersburg & Kirschbaum helmet logo and stamped WKC. Both grip
plates are totally unworn and un-damaged, missing the pommel
slug, the scabbard has lost the majority of its paint, with one
dark patch towards the lower third.
Maker marked - WKC |
|
 |
ITEM : B315 - WKC Short Dress Bayonet (
Pommel Etch )
This bayonet has an infantry
pommel etch unique to the Eickhorn maker and hence is
contentious on a bayonet by WKC, although the detailing and
proportions of the etch are good compared to original known
examples, it does not adhere to the norm and can only be viewed
as a post war addition. The bayonet itself is in good condition,
missing plating from the tip area of the blade and 40% paint
loss to scabbard. No felt slug, leather buffer still in place.
Maker marked - WKC |

ITEM : B316 - EICKHORN Weimar Short Dress
Bayonet
Weimar period private purchase
dress bayonet,
made by Eickhorn with the early back to back squirrel trademark.
The hilt retains 75% of its original black finish, the grip
plates are tight and undamaged and retained by 2 dome headed
rivets as expected. The fullered blade has been sharpened but is
in otherwise good condition. The scabbard has 75% original paint
and a small dent 1" up from the ball. The frog is in good
condition and is stamped CKY42.
Maker marked - EICKHORN |

ITEM : B317 - HORSTER
Long Dress Bayonet (
Pioneer )
Another long pattern Pioneer by Horster, still retains
original leather frog in good condition, this bayonet has
minimal plating loss. The blade is excellent and unusually has
evidence of a trademark on both sides of the blade although
faint to the obverse. Possibly stamped on the wrong side by
mistake and removed. Red felt slug in place and virtually all
paint to scabbard intact. An excellent bayonet in a rare
configuration.
Maker marked - HORSTER

ITEM : B318 - EICKHORN
Long Dress Bayonet (
Pioneer )
A Pioneer made by Eickhorn that has some issues, both grip
plates have cracks although they are firmly fixed and stable.
The plating is good and approx 90% to hilt fittings, the blade
has been sharpened and hence plating loss to the cutting edge,
also bears the stamped Eickhorn TM. No felt slug and scabbard
retainer missing, 95% original paint remaining.
Maker marked - EICKHORN |

ITEM : B319 - UNMARKED
Long Dress Bayonet (
Pioneer )
This unmarked pioneer dress bayonet
has a clipped pommel and shape to the grip that is different to
other examples I have seen or own, probably from a lesser known
manufacturer or made early in the period the hilt fittings
appear to be polished rather than plated. The blade is mint and
unmarked with leather buffer still intact and the hilt has the
red felt slug denoting an infantry affiliation. Some minor
surface darkening to the hilt fittings and both grip plates
un-damaged.
Maker marked - UNMARKED |
|
 |
ITEM : B320 - UNMARKED Weimar Blued Short
Dress Bayonet
Due to the fact that this bayonet is blued instead
of the usual black painted finish and the smaller quillion my
guess is that it could be WW1 or possibly early 1920's. The grip
plates are solid and undamaged and the fittings retain 90% of
the original blu-ing. The blade is scratched but not sharpened
and is unmarked. The scabbard has 70% paint and a good
conditioned brass riveted unmarked frog. This is the first blued
KS98 I have come across and can only be described as scarce. It
would have been a private purchase piece in preference to the
S98/05.
