WW2 German K98 Bayonet With Scabbard Export Model Maker Alcosa

The WW2 German K98 Bayonet with Scabbard Export Model by Alcosa is a military-edged weapon designed for use with the Karabiner 98k service rifle. Manufactured by Alexander Coppel & Co. (Alcosa), this export variant reflects the period’s standard bayonet construction, featuring a blued steel blade and a matching steel scabbard. The blade typically measures approximately 10 inches in length and exhibits a single edge with a fuller running along both sides. The hilt is constructed of metal components with grooved wooden grips, secured by rivets. The design includes a muzzle ring and a release catch, enabling attachment to a rifle. Export models were produced for non-German markets during World War II and often display distinct manufacturer markings and acceptance stamps. These bayonets were intended for both military and police contracts outside Germany, representing the widespread influence of German arms manufacturing during the era. Condition and markings vary by individual example.
