Wehrmacht dress bayonet complete with metal scabbard, leather frog, and sword knot. The blade, featuring two fullers, is adorned with high-quality etching bearing the inscription “Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit Panzer-Abwehr-Abteilung 25 Kornwestheim” (“In memory of my service in the 25th Anti-Tank Battalion, Kornwestheim”). The etching is framed by ornamental cartouches depicting the Imperial Eagle and an anti-tank gun. The blade ricasso bears the mark “Joh. Hiller Bad Cannstatt”. The grip is crafted from black Bakelite with characteristic diamond-pattern checkering; metal fittings are nickel-plated. This set holds considerable historical value due to its clear association with a specific military unit.
