G010358 S 98 nA COMBAT BAYONET. (Seitengewehr) Second pattern model 1898 bayonet, with the two-piece grips introduced in 1902, known as the S 98 nA ("Seitengewehr 98 neuer Art" - Bayonet ‘98 new Pattern), and its original scabbard. The unsheathed bayonet has an overall length of 26. Its steel, contoured bird’s head pommel has a stud guide and locking stud. Its contoured wooden grips each have nine diagonal grooves incised into them, and are fixed by two plain-headed bolts and slot-headed washers. Visible through the rectangular cuts to the base of each grip is a circular cleaning hole. The brazed steel cross guard has a scalloped muzzle guide to its top, and a "quillon," which curves backwards and terminates in a ball tip, extending from its base. The 20" blade, which is 3/4" wide near the guard, has wide fullers along most of its tapering length, and a strengthening "rib" which begins at its back and terminates at the center of its pointed tip. Maker marked to "C GRAENEL, SHUL". Comes with a Ersatz, wartime pattern steel scabbard has an overall length of 22". Original black finish is retained about 60% on the scabbard. Very nice untouched example.
