<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 9851502, member: 20148&quot;]German 1898 pattern bayonet,&nbsp; 75th Regiment, 8th Company, weapon number 101.&nbsp; made by WKC (Weyersburg, Kirschbaum &amp; Cie.). I have seen a number of these bayonets with the plated finish, most not in as good condition as this example it must be said!</p><p>The plating on the sword is probably what would be described as mint, as is the scabbard.</p><p>The NCO&#039;s swords do not seem to turn up nearly as often as the various officers patterns. Perhaps because of their plain handles they were not deemed as pretty and therefore not so many have been kept ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
