Deepeeka-AH3588 Mauser 98K Bayonet W/Scabbard
During World War II in Europe, hand-to-hand combat was on a slow decline, but that didn't mean that bayonets weren't still issued, just in-case. This WWII German Mauser Bayonet was a solid blade that was designed to go with the Mauser K98 rifle. From a distance, this bayonet would be fairly easy to mistake for a wicked combat knife, which isn't necessarily wrong, because in a pinch, it serves just as well in that role, too. It features a 9.5 inch long steel blade that has a blued metal finish, as well as a traditional fuller, which helps to lessen the weight of the blade without decreasing its strength. The bayonet's grip is equally utilitarian, having been crafted from metal and set with simple grooves, which work wonders for providing a solid, firm grip when you have to hold the bayonet like a knife. Included with the bayonet is a matching blued metal scabbard, which keeps the blade safe, safe, and out of the way when it's not in-use. The bayonet has a total length of approximately 16 inches. On its own, this WWII German Mauser Bayonet is a novel little blade and a solid collectible to include in our own historic collection, especially if you're going to display it next to any number of traditional German rifles (especially if you're going to display it with a German Mauser K98 rifle).
