April 5, 20197 yr #1 I believe this bayo with stag is ww1 by the maker mark! But not sure! What do you think! PVON
April 7, 20197 yr #5 Yes, the black finished bayonet is a nice Imperial KS98 bayonet made by Weyersberg, Kirshbaum, and Company. This is the short bladed KS98 made for Officers and NCOs. The nickel finished one is later.
April 7, 20197 yr #6 Here is another black paint finished KS98 with black checkered wood grips. It has been de-milled by the Germans by removing the press button in the pommel for wear after 1918. This was a requirement of the Inter-Allied Arms Commission in 1918. These short model KS98 were intended for wear by Officers and NCOs.
April 7, 20197 yr #7 Very nice bayonet, thank you for the posting. A two for one stag Sarge Always something new to learn, thanks for sharing Tony
April 9, 20197 yr #8 Here is another black finished KS98 bayonet for Officers. This one has a grip insignia.
April 9, 20197 yr #9 Fantastic bayonets, I always liked these ones with the black finish. The one with regimental insignia is a beaut. Thanks for sharing
April 10, 20197 yr #11 These would be Dress Bayonets? Yes, these are classified as "Extra-Seitengewehre" or extra quality edged weapons sidearms that were privately purchased and not an item of issue.
April 11, 20197 yr Author #12 Very nice indeed! And the regimental insignia is not a easy find! I have never found any! PVON
