OK - this isn't the real one - but this is a replica of the experimental (field testing) Sg42 bayonet - Seitengewehr 42
Combination - bayonet/kampfmesser
They show up so rarely, even as a replica, I am tempted.
It is a K98 bayonet - (The MP44 does't have bayou lugs.)
There are tools inside the grip section. An interesting idea. But, clumsy...
The bayonet was made in very small numbers and issued to troops in the Eastern front.
The SG 42 is ultra rare & the all-metal 3rd version is the rarest of the three types.
COF marked blade and WaA marked 519 on blade below grip section.
Ltk marked tool (ltk is Robert Klaas)
I was bidding on an original and got up to $1500 - before I realized I really didn't want it that badly, it didn't break the reserve - they often go around the $4K mark.
One sold on wehr awards last year for $6K - and there are saved posts on the collecting forums from years old Ebay of sales in the $4-$5K range -
*This replica one is $120 - it would need some bluing and aging, but an interesting curiosity in the Mauser collection.
*There were a series of African bayonets that were very similar, also rare, but not the real thing, so be careful.
Quote:The Armalite AR10 Sudan bajonet was not made for the Dutch army. But is was odered by Armalite Interarmco to be made in Solingen by Eichhorn Germany to Sudan in 1956. Approx 7950 total with a order of 10000 Rifles to Sudan in the cal. 308 Win.
It is a rather cool late war K98 bayonet with "survival kit." -
