German KS98 Dress Bayonet with Cav/Arty Portepee - Carl Eickhorn SolingenThis is a highly attractive, 100% complete German KS98 dress bayonet (Extra-Seitengewehr), manufactured by the prestigious firm of Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. The single-edged blade is in excellent, clean condition, retaining nearly all of its original factory crossgrain polishing with no signs of sharpening or abuse. The reverse of the blade features the crisp, deep Eickhorn manufacturer logo stamped into the ricasso. The hilt retains its original yellow felt insert inside the rifle slot.Unfortunately, one of the black chequered bakelite grip plates on the reverse side is damaged and missing a piece near the pommel. However, the bayonet comes fully accessorized with its original, untouched black leather frog in supple condition. Wrapped professionally around the frog is an original, full-length EM/NCO Faustriemen / Portepee featuring white and yellow coloration, indicating service in the Cavalry or Artillery branches. The black painted steel scabbard retains a beautiful finish with only minimal period wear. A fantastic, untouched parade display set from a top-tier maker.
