WWII MAUSER BAYONET WITH PAPERS
WWII Vintage German Bayonet Mauser 98K Scabbard/Frog 44 FNJ Excellent condition for it's age. The bayonet itself is in excellent condition, likely unissued as the blade has not been sharpened. Blade shows only minor scabbard wear and is in beautiful shape. Bakelite plastic grips are also in excellent condition with no cracks and only very minor wear. There is some light rust on exposed metal parts of the grip. The scabbard is in good condition but does also show some small spots of rust, with no dents. Leather frog has a broken strap. Papers from an AAF man, his album is also on my site, numbers on scabbard don't match.
WWII 11TH AIRBORNE DIVISION ONE PIECE PATCH
Outstanding original example of a US 11th Airborne Division patch from the WWII time period. The patch is fully embroidered with all cotton fibers consistent with the period and the threads do not glow when exposed to a blacklight. This patch has tan cut edge with the thin number ones.
