Description

The S84/98 bayonet is one of the most recognizable symbols of the German soldier during the Second World War. Representing the final development of the earlier S84/98 pattern, it was adopted as the standard bayonet for the Mauser Karabiner 98k rifle and was mass-produced by the German arms industry. Due to its widespread issue, the S84/98 remained in Wehrmacht service throughout the war and is today one of the most popular fields of collecting German edged weapons.
