  Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1944 – crs 44. [P. Weyersberg]. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1372)

  A true “calling card” of the German soldier during World War II, this bayonet model 1884/1898 was designed to accompany the legendary Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle. The modernized variant of the S84/98 model was mass-produced by the German arms industry and remained in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the entire period of World War II. This particular example dates to 1944, as evidenced by the “crs 44” marking belonging to the renowned manufacturer P. Weyersberg.

  Matching serial numbers on the blade and scabbard confirm the original factory pairing since the time of manufacture; the corresponding markings indicate that these components have never been separated since leaving the production line. Such examples are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and postwar reassembly, when bayonets and scabbards were often rematched from disparate parts. This is precisely why specimens with preserved matching numbers possess substantially higher collectible value and are of particular interest to serious collectors of military antiques.

  Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1941 – ddl 41. [Jos Corts]. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1371)

  A quintessential “calling card” of the German soldier during World War II, this bayonet model 1884/1898 represents a modernized variant of the S84/98, designed specifically to complement the legendary Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle. Manufactured in 1941 at the Jos Corts production facilities (marked ddl 41), this specimen was mass produced by the German arms industry and remained in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the entire Second World War period.

  This particular example derives special collector value from its matching serial numbers, with corresponding markings on both the blade and scabbard, confirming their original pairing since the time of manufacture. Such bayonets are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and postwar reassembly, when original sets were separated and mixed. The preservation of matching numbers indicates that the blade and scabbard have traveled their entire journey together, which substantially increases the appeal of this lot to serious collectors of military antiques.

  Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1939 – Berg&Co 39. [Berg & Co]. Sharpened blade. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1370)

  A legendary bayonet that became the true “signature weapon” of the German soldier during World War II. This modernized variant of the S84/98 bayonet was created specifically for use with the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle and was mass-produced by the German weapons industry, remaining in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the entire war period.

  The Berg&Co 39 marking indicates that the bayonet was manufactured in 1939. This particular date adds special value to the specimen: the year marking the beginning of World War II makes examples with such markings especially sought after among collectors.

  The manufacturer, Berg & Co, was a German firm specializing in the production of edged weapons and bayonets in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was located in Solingen, the traditional center of weapons manufacturing in Germany. The Berg & Co marking is found predominantly on bayonets produced under contract for the military department.

  The blade was sharpened in field conditions to provide the bayonet with additional combat or utility functions, as most German bayonets were issued without factory sharpening and were intended primarily for thrusting. In the ground forces, such sharpening was officially prohibited. However, excavation results from former Luftwaffe positions show that bayonets with sharpened blades are found quite frequently, indicating the widespread practice of such field modifications among Luftwaffe personnel, particularly in paratrooper units.

  Matching numbers on the blade and scabbard confirm their original pairing from the time of manufacture. Such specimens are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and postwar reassembly, which significantly increases the collectible value of this example.
