Description

Authentic WWII German M98 Mauser bayonet and matching scabbard is a relic of World War II’s thunderous battlefields. This original Third Reich M98 Mauser bayonet with scabbard exemplifies the precision engineering of the Third Reich’s armories, designed as the quintessential close-quarters companion to the iconic Karabiner 98k rifle—a weapon that armed millions of Wehrmacht soldiers from the blitzkrieg invasions of 1939 to the desperate defenses of 1945.

This vintage WWII Mauser bayonet for sale is forged from high-carbon steel, the 25.5 cm blade gleams with a subtle patina of age, its fuller groove reducing weight without sacrificing lethality, while the ricasso bears faint but legible markings: the iconic “Waffenfabrik Mauser AG” stamp, evoking the Oberndorf workshops where these tools of conflict were mass-produced. The hard steel grip, checkered for unyielding hold in gloved hands, cradles a bird’s-head pommel and crossguard with muzzle ring, ensuring a seamless lock onto the rifle’s barrel.

Encased in its original silver steel scabbard, reinforced with steel throat and tip, the set whispers tales of foxholes and forgotten campaigns—perhaps the Eastern Front’s frozen hell or Normandy’s hedgerow ambushes. Minor wear, including superficial pitting on the blade and scabbard patina, speaks to genuine frontline service, not collector’s gloss. Measuring 39 cm overall.

This collectible M98 bayonet is ideal for the discerning historian, reenactor, or militaria aficionado, this M98 bayonet bridges the gap between artifact and anecdote, a tangible echo of humanity’s darkest hour.
