1935 German “G-Date” S84/98 III K98 Bayonet with Scabbard

An early-production German S84/98 III knife bayonet made for use with the Karabiner 98k rifle. This 1935 “G-Date” example features a single-edged, fullered blade, wooden grip panels secured by screws, a straight crossguard, and a steel bird’s-head pommel with mounting slot and release button. The S84/98 became the most widely issued German bayonet pattern of World War II.

The bayonet includes the steel scabbard shown and measures approximately 15 inches overall. No belt frog is included.

The set displays age and service wear throughout, including scratches, dark patina, oxidation, scattered pitting, staining, and areas of finish loss. The wooden grip panels show handling wear and discoloration around the fasteners. The scabbard has oxidation, scratches, surface spotting, and worn finish consistent with age.

Please review all photographs carefully for condition, markings, and whether the bayonet and scabbard numbers match.
