SOLD

Original WWI German Sawback Bayonet And Scabbard Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified. This example has a very desirable “sawback” blade, which was intended for use by pioneers to saw through brush and obstacles. Unfortunately a rumor got out that it was intended to inflict grievous harm on enemies, so a lot of the sawback bayonets had this feature removed, making them hard to find. This example has a blade in very good used condition. The blade finish is very nice, with minimal staining and pitting on the bright steel blade. . The sawback itself is in excellent condition.. Complete with scabbard. Heavily worn and used example showing the expected age and wear. The ball of the scabbard in missing. In good condition with storage wear and very light surface rust to the bayonet. Nicely maker marked. An  untouched sawback German bayonet . Gettysburg Museum Certified (COA) provided. Very limited supply. Please also see our other items on our web page.
