WW1 Imperial German Infantry bayonet for the Gewehr 98

Hi guys, today we are taking a look at the SG98 or quillback bayonet.

Little German lesson „Bajonett” is a blade you can attach to ur muzzle without a grip „Seitengewehr” is a knife, or saber with a grip (and usually an edge) u can fix to your muzzle or hold in your hand. Also: Erfurt is a city. Not a manufacturer

Thanks, that is really helpful

I have several variations of this, including a first pattern sawback. In 1974, I bought one in mint condition, with Chilean markings.

[@chrissutcliffe1814]

Love that. I own one and bought it because of that reason. I agree with you on all this bayonets failures and appreciate your honesty. We collect because we like. Good job.

I actually just bought an a.A model that's missing the grip(s). I didn't realize there were different variants of the quillback and only looked it up when I noticed the handle shape was different than my 98/05's.

I found your channel yesterday to look for info on a chesspot bayonet but I've looked at your videos and channel and i really love and respect what you are doing keep it up !

There are all steel scabbards for these, they're war time production.

[@andrewhaddock7996]

Another problem with these is the scabbard breaking when the soldier knelt.

Looks long enough to poke somebody without having to step into the poison gas. LOL.

Dude! What a good video you made! You have a very good chanel! My favorite! ❤! Very interesting, i have the same in my collection. Love to see you do a unit marking video because i am still not good at it

[@andrewhaddock7996]

If you have one of these with a prominent serial number on the crossguard and frog stud and a coat of arms on the pommel below the mortice slot,then you have a Peruvian modelo 1909.

I've had my eye on one for over a year, they are really nice

[@ahmet42selim65]

You gotta be thankful to god I would love to own one but I couldn't really reach them so i generally buy what i find so i ended up having 3 98/05s 😂

Hey for a suggestion about a bayonet acquisition / video, I have what I believe is to be a Mexican Rolling Block bayonet. Missing the button but has initials carved into the grips. It's a cool bayonet and took a while for me to figure out what it was. I can imagine how hard they are to come by where you are located, but it'd be a cool video I'm sure!

[@pointynotsharp8436]

They do pop up every now and then, I actually just missed one on ebay about a month ago
