Imperial German WWI Combination Close Combat Knife / Bayonet Lot: Two Examples

First is the etsatz style steel hilt combination trench knife bayonet 25cm (9-3/4") overall - looks GREAT displayed in the scabbard, but when removed you realize that this was a well-loved knife, as it has been sharpened down to the nubbins, with a dulled tip, dark gray patina interrupted by dark pits and blemished.  Ricasso has a crown over "3", no further markings on the piece.  Hilt has an iron crossguard with rearward swept quillon and sheet steel grip riveted together with a mortise and lug lock in the pommel.  Grip retains traces of feldgrau painted finish blending with patina.  Scabbard has 30% black painted finish, brown leather belt loop and broken retaining strap.  

Second example is a faux bayonet style trench knife; 26cm (10-1/4") overall, clip point blade with dark age spots and heavily sharpened, marked "NAHKAMPFER" (Close Combat) on the ricasso.  Hilt has rearward-swept quillon on the guard, checkered black horn grip scales, one of which is damaged and has a repair that is functional, if not quite aesthetically satisfactory.  Pommel has functional mortise and button.  Black painted steel scabbard has dark brown leather belt loop and Prym snap on the retaining strap.  $200 - $300
