GERMAN WWI FIGHTING KNIFE/BAYONET.

A very nice example of the Eickhorn produced bayonet fighting knife. The blade is very good with its back to back Eickhorn trademark, original leather washer, eagle headed nickel plated hilt with bayonet fixing, which is fully functional, composition cross hatched grips undamaged, all in its scabbard with virtually all the original paint finish remaining with a complete and supple belt loop and hilt retaining strap with a fully functioning male/female press stud. A collector repair has been affected to the hilt retaining strap to help retain its integrity. The blade length is 16cm, overall length 28cm. These bayonet fighting knives were mainly used by storm troopers fitted to their KAR98 carbines.
