I am not a gun guy so I need some pretty low-level explanation on this. Thanks to some pictures from Brett I understand that the Kar 88 had no mounting socket for a bayonet. I also understand that the Kar 98 did. Was this a mid-war change? The reason that I am asking is because of weaponry used by cavalry soldiers. When shot off their horse they would take their lance with them. Ostensibly this was because they did not have bayonets. The action I am researching happened on 12 August 1914. Is there a way I can check what units had what weapon at that time? Thank you Mr. Wizard! #-o
