Original Mid-WWII German 43 fnj K98 Bayonet Scabbard & Leather Frog Matching #s

Description

WWII German K98 Bayonet
This is an original mid-WWII German Mauser K98 bayonet, complete with its original scabbard and leather frog. The bayonet's "43 fnj" marking denotes 1943 production by the Alexander Coppel GmbH (Alcoso) factory in Solingen, Germany. It showcases a serial number of "7637 p" and has acceptance proof marks on the pommel. The grips are constructed of a very nice reddish-brown bakelite. The scabbard, on the side closest to the leather frog's belt loop, is marked "S/172, 1937" (difficult to photograph). The scabbard was "force matched" (ie, re-serialed) to match the blade, likely following a depot re-arsenal. The leather frog is marked "1/0750/011".
