Item Details
Description
A WWI German Bayonet Model 1898 with Sheath. This bayonet is the 1898 short version. In the beginning of WWI, the German military found out that the blade would bend and become stuck when plunged through an enemy's ribs. The length of the bayonets was a weakness and were prone to break in batlle, so for these reasons the M1898 bayonets bayonets were shortened. This particular bayonet is still sharp and is marked 6093. It was made by Alex Coppel, Solingen in 1906.
