WWII K-98 BAYONET JOS. CORTSS N 1938
Here's a beautiful example out my collection. The blade on this one rates VG. It has beautiful blueing, a perfect tip and fit, and it hasn't been messed with . There are runner marks along with the common spots. The blade is stamped Jos Corts manufacturer. It is also stamped "5191 k" to the obverse matching the scabbard with the same markings. The scabbard is in great shape with no dents but surface rust. The crossguard is stamped "N 13566K"and the scabbard has the same marks . The brown bakelite grip plates are in great shape! They also have a perfect fit, being tightly secured by two screws/spanner nuts. This piece is profusely inspection stamped as one would expect. This one also comes the frog, but the strap is broken and the slot is ripped. Overall this is a great early piece that is in nice shape.
