Good morning Gentlemen 

Thank you all for the information - it seems this bayonet is causing a bit of a ruckus !

I would love to know exactly what and when,where and how - Piekenier I am willing to bring it to you for closer inspection if you are available ?

Hi there 

It's very faint but the only marking I see is 484 on the crossguard and 484 on the scabbard 

At this stage I am willing to dig underneath the plating to see if there is anything else to be revealed

Any Aye's or nay's ?

Regards

Daron

Hi Piekenier

 I'm in Babylon (JHB) so it might be a while - but If possible I will pop past

Hi Chris

Very interesting ! and more confusing ! 

Any idea why the grips don't have the slot in them near the guard ? I've seen them on other ks's ?

By the way I've just found an HJ knife and Luftwaffe 2nd pattern dirk - these are from my dad who recently passed away.

Hi Chris

As far as I can see just the number 484 - however there might be something under the plating on the scabbard - I'm loath to peel it off but I'll take off a little bit to satisfy my curiosity - as Piekenier said - the plating is not original - so what harm could that do ?

Hi 

So a strange puzzle to be solved 

Thank you for your help

Regards

Daron

Hi there - here's the picture of the throat - the same number appears on the cross guard - can you tell me what it is if not an officers or private purchase ? 

Thanks again

Regards

Daron

Also - what is the deal with the missing hole/slot in the grips that i see on the other KS98's ?

Regards

Daron

Apologies Chris - I thought I was talking to Piekenier - my fault - I will take some close ups of the markings and send them through 

Regards

Daron

Here's one - I'll send more

Will do - where are you located ? I'm inJHB

Regards 

Daron

Do you have Whattsap ? I can send pics that way

It's also a numbers matching scabbard and blade - crown W07 

Hi there - I'm new to this site and would appreciate any help identifying this item - I think it is a KS98 sawback maybe private purchase ? I can send more pics if required - thanks in advance.
