This scarce, double-marked World War 1, German S1884/98 nA sawback bayonet was made in 1915 by Gebruder Heller of Marienthal and is also marked by the Imperial armoury at Erfurt. The second pattern of the 1884/98 knife bayonet was used with the Mauser Gewehr 98 and K98 rifles.

The 252mm single-edged blade has a broad single fuller below 38 saw teeth and terminates in a spear point. The blade is in very good condition. There are slight scratches along its length and the blade retains a service edge. The ricasso is marked with the maker’s trademark, GEBR. HELLER over MARIENTHAL. The obverse ricasso bears the mark of the Prussian royal armoury at Erfurt. Gebruder Heller was a machining company so it is likely that they produced the blade under imperial contract and the bayonet was then hilted at the Erfurt royal armoury.

The polished steel pommel bears two crowned inspection marks. A flash protector was added to the back of the grip to avoid the wooden scales being scorched by the rifle’s muzzle flash. The press-stud mechanism is in good working order and the wooden scales are in good condition with age and use related chips and wear. The chips to the grip correspond to dings on the flash guard, suggesting that the hilt was used as a hammer at one time.

The bayonet is complete with its blackened steel scabbard. The scabbard is in good condition with some shallow pitting towards the bottom and on the frog stud. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.

This is a very good example of a rare, double marked, saw-toothed Mk II pattern 1884/98 bayonet made during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
