Lot 267: A Mid-20th Century German K98 Pattern Bayonet with Steel Scabbard and Leather Frog

A mid-20th century military bayonet of the K98 pattern, constructed with a steel pommel featuring a release button, a crossguard, and dark composite grips with horizontal ribbing. The accompanying steel scabbard is tapered and finished with a ball tip, secured within a brown leather belt frog featuring visible perimeter stitching and metal rivets. A white rectangular adhesive label on the scabbard body is printed in black text reading SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS, LOT, 267, and 01132502626. A smaller white rectangular label on the leather frog bears the handwritten numerals 12870. No further maker names, stamps, or serial numbers are legible on the weapon or scabbard due to surface oxidation.
