Seitengewehr 98/02

[Westfront]

Hello gents

My latest find is this very rare German bayonet the Seitengewehr 98/02 with matching numbers , made by Erfurt (Prussian) but with Sachsen markings Reserve pionier XIX Armeekorps.The bayonet was only produced between 1902 and 1905, because it was to heavy it was replaced by the Seitengewehr 98/05.

The Seitengewehr 98/02 and 98/05.
