KS/98 Bayonet w/Single Etched Blade & Double TM. Stalking tiger and TIGER Solingen double TM. Photographs of this etch pattern on an Anton Wingen, Jr. marked bayonet appear on page 103 of German Etched Dress Bayonets by Wayne H. Techet. Nickel-plated hilt fittings show minor surface wear with minor lifting to the reverse pommel and crossguard. Pommel slot is complete with original red felt plug. Black bakelite grip plates are perfect with no cracks or chips. Plated blade grades EX/EX+ showing light surface wear, with some minor gray shadowing/speckling on obverse/reverse, and is complete with black leather buffer pad. The reverse blade features, as stated on page 103 of the above reference, "similarities of the lettering style used in the remembrance motto to those used in motif option NR 2181 in the Robert Klaas 1938 catolog". The etch pattern is a 6" long frosted panel, with what appears to be an early version of the "flower pot" design seen in the 1938 Klaas catalog, flanking the two-line inscription in Gothic letters, "Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit in Würzburg." (In remembrance of my service time in Würburg). Steel scabbard retains approximately 85% of the original black enamel, showing minor surface wear/crazing, with missing paint and a small depression to lower ball. Nice Tiger example with seldom seen double Tiger trademark. EX+ (25852) $455. SOLD
