Description
Attention! The scabbard is treated with anti-corrosion powder. The powder irritates the skin and mucous membranes! Before using, the scabbard must be washed with water, dried with a hair dryer or on a heater and treated with machine oil. Clean the outer surfaces of the scabbard with soap and water, do not use chemicals (such as household water stone remover or rust converter), they can damage the bluing.
Attention! The scabbard is a metal case for the blade. The leather pendant does not come with a scabbard, it is shown in the photo to understand the final appearance of the exhibit, as well as the bayonet itself.
Sheath to the German Mauser 98 rifle or carbine. Good copy, neat shape. There is brass brazing, as on the originals, between the main part of the scabbard and the hook, as well as the “droplet” at the tip. The bayonet comes in softly and firmly.
The full length of the scabbard is 27,5 cm, for a bayonet with a blade length of 25,5 cm.
The “individual” number 1773k and the name of the manufacturer are stamped on the sheath. In the period from 1937 to 1940, manufacturers of cold weapons in Germany had the right to brand the abbreviated name of their company on their products. Three-digit codes existed before, and three-letter codes appeared later. The year 1938 and the manufacturer E. u. F. Hörster (Emil and Fritz Hoerster from Solingen).
Blackened.
