WW1 Imperial German Gew98 Bayonet Sawback Butcher 98/05 And Scabbard – Marked Durkopp

This piece is a remarkable example of WW1 military history – an Imperial German Gew98 Bayeonet Sawback Butcher 98/05, complete with its original scabbard. The bayonet, infamous for its ‘butcher’ blade, was standard issue for the German Army during the Great War. The Sawback version, with its serrated back edge, was designed for utility purposes but also served to strike fear into the enemy. This particular piece is marked ‘Durkopp’, a prominent German manufacturer of the time, indicating it’s an authentic piece of WW1 history. The bayonet and scabbard show signs of age but retain their original integrity, making this a must-have for any serious military history enthusiast or collector.
