Gents,

 

I want to show a private purchase (Extrawaffen) Imperial German Model 71 style dress bayonet. This bayonet is styled as the S 71 (Artillerie-Seitengewehr M/71) in German literature. This Extra-Seitengewehr has no bayonet lug attachment nor does it have a muzzle ring so it will not affix to a rifle. These bayonets were used solely for walking out dress or for wear off duty.

 

This bayonet has a long flat nickel plated blade that is fully etched on both sides. In the center of this etching is a blued panel showing the Baden Field Artillery unit designation on the obverse and a rendition of a light artillery unit at full gallop on the reverse. Notice that the unit designation has also been property stamped into the reverse brass guard by the unit armorer.

 

The bayonet has a standard black leather scabbard with brass fittings to match the brass hilt. It also has an original black leather frog and a correct added Enlisted bayonet knot (Troddel) to indicate the unit.
