Germany - Horster / Eickhorn - Mauser K98 WW2 - Israel Modification 1948 - Bayonet
Knife bayonet for use on the 8 mm. Mauser Kar 98k rifle.
In 1948, the Israeli Army was equipped with captured Second World War German equipment, including Kar 98k rifles and M1884/98 III bayonets.
The Israelis replaced the crosspiece on the German bayonet with one that had a full muzzle ring. The bayonet and scabbard are also marked with the Star of David and the Hebrew letter Tsadik, which was used as a government property mark. There is still visible marking on the scabbard. German markings are visible as well.
This bayonet was originally made in 1943 by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. It has serrated, brown Bakelite plastic grips. The scabbard was originally made in 1940 by Carl Eickhorn.
