Hello guys! I would like some help. This bayonet is for sale here in Sweden, and the guy that owns it says the bayonet is 100% original, but the "leibstandarte" text might have been done by a soldier, and not by SS. But he's not sure. I just wonder, is there any K98 bayonets that looks like this? I mean, originally of course. Did the Leibstandarte have it's own bayonets? Thanks, Michael
It's an original K98 Bayonet , but the inscription on the blade is post war , a few of these circulate around the Militaria and collectors market, they are only worth the price of a normal K 98 not the ridiculous money some people try to sell them at as war time original LSSAH.
Okey, thank you very much for that information! He was actually trying to sell at a "ridiculous price" to me. Good thing I asked here first. But how can you be so sure that the inscription is post war? Did it even exist LSSAH bayonets like this? Thanks, Michael
