German WW1 M1898 Sawback Pioneer Bayonet

This German bayonet features a long steel blade with a sawback spine, showing a grey patina. The hilt consists of a S-shaped steel crossguard, wooden grip scales, and a steel pommel, paired with a matching steel scabbard. Designated the Model 1898, this sawback bayonet was issued to Prussian pioneer and engineer units during the First World War. The saw teeth along the spine were designed for clearing brush and cutting wood. The blade spine is stamped with an Imperial Prussian cypher. The sawback features intact, sharp teeth. The wooden grips show wear but are structurally secure, and the scabbard fits the blade tightly.
