German M 1871 Dress Bayonet

Price: $360.00

Scarcer Franco Prussian War vintage M 1871 bayonet. This specimen appears to be the dress model. It has etchings of floral motifs on the blade. Condition is very good however inexplicably the scabbard top has been neatly sliced off so part of the blade is exposed when in its leather and brass scabbard. No regimental markings visible. There is a knights head visible just below the hilt indicating the maker is WKC.
