This is a fine example of a WWII-era German dress bayonet featuring desirable stag horn grips, complete with its original brown leather frog and NCO knot.

The blade is in excellent condition, showing a factory finished edge that remains unsharpened, with a well-defined tip. The ricasso is clearly marked “Alcoso” alongside the firm’s iconic scales logo. Alcoso (Alexander Coppel & Co.) was a prominent Solingen-based manufacturer known for producing large quantities of dress daggers and bayonets throughout the 1930s and the Second World War.

The stag horn grips-a sought after variation due to their lower production numbers are very attractive with a lovely natural grain. Notably, one side exhibits a darker colour than the other, adding a nice contrast. The nickle-plated hilt retains its functioning rifle slot and release button, and displays the classic bird-head pommel.

The scabbard is straight, undented, and retains approximately 95% of its original black paint, showing only light wear consistant with age. To complete the bayonet, it comes with its correct brown leather frog and NCO knot.

A really nice example.
