WW2 German K98 Bayonet With Scabbard Matching Numbers Maker P. Weyersberg

The WW2 German K98 Bayonet with Scabbard is a standard-issue edged weapon used by German armed forces during the Second World War, specifically designed to fit the Karabiner 98k rifle. This example features matching serial numbers on both the blade and the scabbard, indicating that these components have remained together since original issuance. The manufacturer, P. Weyersberg, was one of several German firms contracted to produce bayonets for wartime use. Characteristic elements include a steel blade with a blued or parkerized finish, ribbed bakelite grips, and a steel scabbard with a belt attachment frog stud. The bayonet functions both as a close-combat weapon and a multi-purpose utility tool. Markings typically include the manufacturer’s code and date of production. The K98 bayonet is representative of German military equipment commonly employed from the late 1930s through 1945 and is a notable example of mid-century military design and manufacture.
