Presented is an early WW II KS 98 Dress Bayonet with the trade mark of E. Pack & Sohne shown at left. The single edged blade with false edge is heavily
Nickel plated. The hilt furniture shows surface wear with some loss of plating to eagle head pommel and cross guard and are
light grey in color. The black Bakelite grips are in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. The bright blade is
mostly excellent showing little wear except for one small line of rust on the obverse. The original
leather washer is present. The midnight black painted scabbard has paint loss on the front and some light rust. It is
dent-free and retains approximately 85% of its original finish. There is a green felt plug in the locking galley.
The stitching on the leather frog is tight, but the leather itself is mottled and has white paint remnants on the
back. The leather is broken at the stud. E. Pack is noted for their high quality and this represents a good
buy. They were the only maker to attach the grips using studs and sunken nuts.
