German WW1 Ersatz Bayonet “ Carter Type EB50. Description Spear-pointed unfullered knife blade, steel hilt and grip with oil hole, the hilt of one-piece construction with split muzzle ring, grip with diagonal grooves. Black-painted steel scabbard with frog hook, partly wrapped with wire. Black paint to the hilt, traces of black paint in recessed areas of the grip like the grooves and the mortise slot. Blade 12 1/8 inches in length, the bayonet 16 7/8 inches overall. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown inspection mark, as is the spine of the blade. The pommel appears to have some form of stamping, one mark with what look like arrows. The &#acute;ersatz&#acute; bayonets were simplified models produced near the beginning of WW1 to fit the Gewehr 88 rifle: production had to be ramped up rapidly to equip the expanding German army, and existing factories either could not cope with demand or preferred to manufacture rifles, leaving bayonets to be made in many cases by smaller firms or ones which did not previously produce weapons. These hastily crafted bayonets had a hard life: many were used to destruction or sold into Turkish service. There are many types to collect: in the nomenclature of Carter&#acute;s definitive book on the subject, this would be an EB50 type.

German S84/98 Saw-Back Bayonet. Heller 1915. #2510008. This scarce World War 1, German S1884/98 sawback bayonet was made around 1915 by Gebruder Heller of Marienthal. These 1884/98 knife bayonets were used with the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle.The 252mm single-edged blade has a broad single fuller below 38 saw teeth and terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is in good condition. There are small patches of shallow pin-prick pitting, mainly around the forte on one side. The blade retains a sharp fighting edge. The ricasso is marked with the maker’s trademark, GEBR. HELLER over MARIENTHAL.The polished steel pommel and cross guard are in good condition with very minor and shallow pin-pricks of pitting. A post production flash protector was added to the back of the grip to avoid the wooden scales being scorched by the rifle’s muzzle flash. The press-stud mechanism is in good working order and the wooden scales are in good condition with age and use related wear and staining.The bayonet is complete with its early issue black leather scabbard with steel mounts. These early scabbards are more associated with S84 bayonets converted from the earlier 1871 pattern bayonets. The leather scabbards were replaced with all steel scabbards in the early years of WW1 and are quite hard to find now. The locket and chape are in good condition and the stitched seam is intact and tight. The leather has become very soft and flexible over time. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is a good example of a scarce saw-toothed Mk II pattern 1884/98 bayonet made at the beginning of WW1.
