    Description

    Very simplified German WW1 bayonet made at the very beginning of WW1. Due to the war having started without the German industry being prepared to make so many bayonets, the first bayonets they manufactured such as this one were extremely simplified to be more cheaply produced. As well as easier for the mostly machine shops which were tasked with the job of manufacturing the bayonets to make them. Thus, this bayonet has far fewer parts and components to it than the previous models. Many of these bayonets were also sent out to Germany's ally, the Ottoman Empire, during the war to aid them in arming their soldiers. Entire length is roughly 16.5 inches. This bayonet is many decades old, and so no returns or refunds will be accepted under the reasoning of the bayonet not being brand new, nor factory fresh. As it has certain minor damages and alterations that can be seen in the pictures, and it is obvious that such an old original antique would not be in brand new condition.
