Imperial German WWI Erfurt G98 "Butcher Blade" Saw-back Bayonet, Unit Marked in good to very good condition. The unit mark comes back to the 24th Division, 22nd Pioneer Battalion, 1st Company of the Imperial German Army. This unit was involved in the early war activities in 1914 through the battle of the Marne. Thereafter the unit was assigned to multiple areas along the trench lines. The blade does not have a scabbard. There is minor conditional wear and pitting as pictured. Overall a very rare and desirable bayonet.
