Calling all kS98 sawbacks!

[IGB]

Hello

I am in the final stages of putting together a book on the Imperial German kS98 sawback (service and dress issue).

My apologies if this message is getting to you for the second (or more) times but I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone who has one or more kS98 sawback bayonets in their collection or knows of someone not on GMIC with a collection.

The usefulness of the book depends very much on how many kS98 have been surveyed. At present it is just over 600 but the more the merrier. Everyone who contributes is acknowledged in the book.

With best wishes

Allan

Are you also covering the KS98 based fighting knives?

Hi Chris - that would be a venture too far for this book. Sawbacks only. Even then, I decided to catalog and include the dress kS98 sawbacks and am so far up to variation number 42!

Best wishes
