This bayonet has been highly polished and restored back to how it would of looked when leaving the factory.

The light colour wooden grips are in perfect condition showing no signs of damage and have been varnished at some stage. The crossguard is the early “high ears” example with an inspection stamp to the underneath. The upper pommel has two inspection stamps and the rifle retaining button is in good working order.

The blade is mirror bright finished with the maker being SIMSON & CO SUHL. On the spine of the blade we see a “W” under a crown and dated 1915 with an inspection stamp.

The scabbard shows a dent in the leather at the front but is still in very good condition with all stitching intact. The upper scabbard mount reads E.B.A.1.149. and the throat has two inspection stamps.

A super clean example.
